As a Bonsai Dryad player, I somewhat feel like an afterthought and brushed aside. Can you elaborate more on Bonsai Dryads? They are a big part of what drew me to the current iteration. I like the permanent childlike appearance particularly; it’s much more convenient than making a string of children characters for child RP and losing all character progression every two months or so. Everything seems to be there to make what could pass as an existing Bonsai Dryad, though a section or sub-section under appearance about “Small Dryads” or “Childlike Dryads” would help a ton when my character’s validity comes into question. Also, having confirmation that a Dryad that transforms into a childlike appearance will always look like a child would help as well. Additionally, the transformation process complicates bonding to an already existing bonsai tree. And without Druid intervention, you can’t ungrow the tree back into a bonsai afterwards.

I am not in support of this. Druidism doesn't need any more "endgame". We already have shape-shifting and soul trees to pursue once you're fairly high in Druidism, shape-shifting being extremely fun and useful and soul trees making you time-immortal and tougher in combat. Not to mention with Soul Trees already making you immortal, this seems like little more than a power-up with fluff. Although time was clearly spent on this, I think it's not a good addition for Druidism. -1

As a former Bryophite, and wanting to make one of my current characters one, I add my support to this rewrite!

I think Cognitism could add a new level to it like allowing the caster to remain awake. Though the key difference to this, I think, is that there has to be a target mind. Without a mind to link to, the Mind Mage couldn't perform this feat as with any other Mind Magic skill. I'd say think of it like two people having the same lucid dream, linked through the mental powers of a Mind Mage. However, I'll bite. Mind if I got in on this? We can all discuss this further.

Actually, this does exist within the realm of Mind Magic and I've been using it myself for quite some time, but I called it the Dreamscape. The limitations are actually very similar to yours. :D It was actually a branch off of Environment-Changing illusions. Jon021, the creator of Mind Magic, actually did something similar to this often, though claimed it as Environment-Changing illusions. I took it and set it as it's own skill. As the current holder of Mind Magic lore, I'd be glad to have this as the official guideline and documentation for it, save for one small change: It can be used on targets who are awake, though the more awake they are, the harder it is to maintain the dream with being fully rested (having just woken up) being near impossible for even a master Mind Mage. That change would have it be almost exactly my limitations.
