As an optional rule, the GMmight allow rituals with the area of effect modifier but not the damage modifier to receive the benefits listed under the Persistent enhancements (p. B107) for +8 extra energy or Persistent and Drifting (p. B105) for +12 extra energy.

Yes.

You don't add Binding as a separate trait like you did for v2. The Binding's skill is your Path skill and then you can pump it up using Bestows a Bonus.

Living vines, roots, etc. require Path of Body, dead ones use Path of Matter. See below:
Capturing Roots
Spell Effects: Lesser Control Body.
Inherent Modifiers: Bestows a Bonus, +5 to Binding Rolls.
Greater Effects: 0 (x1)
Animates a cluster of roots to stretch out and grab anyone nearby. Treat this as an area of effect binding attack with the roots having an effective ST of Path of Matter + 5. If the roots are reaching out laterally (from a wall or fence), targets may use active defenses. If the attack comes up from the ground, limit active defenses to parries with feet or a dodge at -3. This spell has no effect on sapient plants.
Typical Casting: Lesser Control Body (5) + Bestows a Bonus, +5 to Binding Rolls (12) + Area of Effect, 5 yards, excludes 12 allies (10) + Range, 10 yards (4) + Duration, 10 minutes (1) + Subject Weight, 1,000 lbs. (4).
25 energy (36x1).
