I’ll go ahead and answer these points since it seems you are either seeking this out or assume it was never thought about. 1. Yes and No. Within the canon lore as nature started to be created, it was primal, chaotic, destructive and to a point of unable to really grow or be viable to live on. The Aspects saw this and came down, each giving something to aid nature in finally balancing itself to where it can thrive and grow to what we see canonically today. As for the ‘ideal’ that more falls with each group or individual druid of how they see the balance of nature and wish to protect it. Though the magic itself does allow them to hear nature and go by how to aid if its disturbed. It is in the end with how a druid takes that, falling on an IC point of view. 2. Actually this was questioned and while it is ‘allowed’, your lore also states that if a dark shaman captures a lesser nature spirit, druids can feel the strain of the natural bodies being tormented which in short, being unnatural. 3. shamanism and their abilities to do those things you listed have been questioned numerous times, however it is allowed because the spirit Freygoth and some of the other nature spirits are embodiment of nature itself taking on a physical form. This however doesn’t mean by what they are doing (which in alot of cases is force changing things from its natural state to something else under w/e the shaman wants) is by any means considered natural and is responded to accordingly. Now of course, this can be debated and usually falls by individual cases of what is going on as spirits are rather fickle and tend to do what they please. 4. I don’t see how this is relevant, but alright. Alchemy takes herbs from the natural world and uses its properties to combine with others to form something new. This can go to the extreme as we have seen and create new forms of ‘life’ which then are questioned and some even seen as massively horrid works of nature. Chimeras a good example. But still, that’s its own thing there. 5. I don’t see how this is relevant either, but i’ll enlighten this matter. Yes, all of nature is dependent upon lifeforce, as with all living things of this world. While druids could manipulate this lifeforce with a bit of nature spice, necromancers were the masters of all lifeforce and thus was able to give and take it. This doesn’t mean it was exactly ‘good’ by any means, more just able to effect a living thing. 6. Ah, Way of the Oaks. A very interesting ideology that I do definitely see within this lore submission. But that is what it is, a viewpoint and a very neat one that I actually did enjoy reading, but in the end, this doesn’t really have anything to do with what people are trying to state with this lore submission. I don’t deny the existent of the Old Lords though, but again you linked an IC viewpoint. While dark shamanism, shamanism, and alchemy have their own forms of messing with the natural world, it is still unique in their own way of doing things. Hope that answers all your bullet points and if you have anymore questions, feel free to pm me or poke me on discord. As for what people are trying to state with this lore, It isn’t really so much that ‘Oh its dark druidism again, lame’. That is an assumption that is immediately stated without looking at the overall issue with this lore. There’s nothing wrong with someone trying to make a Dark Druidism or a druidism that doesn’t have a deity. HOWEVER, with any magic, you need to have a uniqueness to it. What others are trying to state here is that this is a lore submission of a magic that is almost mimicking another and barely any differences other than ‘it lacks a deity’. Which unfortunately isn’t going to cut it when its up for review. Other issues are state with its race lock to specific races. That immediately will be a deny as we, the Story Lore Team Sect, have stated in our lore submission guidelines when one makes new lore. Then we have the list of abilities. Abilities that for the most part, can be done with druidism as current or is a twist to what abilities they have. Which doesn’t exactly give a defined uniqueness to this lore. If you want this to take off or be accepted, it needs to show how it stands out from the rest. Not only have minor differences or slight twists in abilities just so it fits a ‘viewpoint’ some have regarding nature and the realm.

“Mm..” The Druidess would murmur quietly to herself as she read the tome some before gracefully moving to depart towards the Sage Way Sanctuary.
