Forget the mental picture of lycopodium, its not correct. Lycopodium is the diplomat, and a diplomat uses his ability to convince others to his own benefit, and he hides, the best actor there is, if disclosing a lyc you become his biggest treath,and he will try to utilize the only things he know, diplomacy, to get others to eliminate his enemy, lyc loves power, but hides it, lyc is a coward, not a bully, he does not what he can get others to do, and that general behaviour described earlier, is general for kids, no essential here to put thrust in.
