Upon undergoing attunement one might experience a profound sense of awakening, gaining valuable perspective compared to their time prior to such a transformative change.

When this connection is opened, the hum or song that they hear is but an additive to natural energies flowing through living beings also around them. This process can be interpreted in a number of different ways depending upon the druid. The hum of nature could be seen as an intangible thread or a pulse of life akin to a heartbeat but radiating out from everywhere. It can be an entirely personal experience, potentially even affecting how they may exude their own hum.

This passive connection to nature is not unlimited though only stretching 15 meters in length. Allowing them a radial sense of the world around them as they move through it in their travels.

Communion acts as base connection for Druids and their casting, slowly progressing as one spends more time attuned and mastering the ancient art. Being overwhelmed at first before learning to pick the voices apart with Tuning until they reach T5 unlocking the ability of passive Communion, allowing a Druid to stay connected after using their granted gifts.

Redlines:

• Communion acts as a connection for Druids, opening the direct perception of nature around them.
• A druid can only perceive the hum of natural energies within a 15 block radius of themselves in each direction.
• Once a druid reaches T5 their connection and communion with nature solidifies allowing them to hold their concentration even after casting a spell. This will remove [1] emote from all non-combative spells, should a druid cast a spell for combative needs they will have to emote the same as they would normally without constant connection.
• A druid can perceive the voices through general emotions, a chaotic stream of thought, or simply flowing energy.
• Descendants, Musin, Kha, Wonks, and otherwise unnatural creatures do not hold a voice. Unless they are otherwise connected to the Fae Realm or the Aspects.
• Shapeshifters in animal form will hold the same voice akin to an animal, thus also meaning that communion cannot be used to metagame a shapeshifter or make jumps that an animal may be one.

Acting as a direct communication between druid and flora, in contrast to the wide-open expression of communion. Tuning allows for a transference of thoughts and emotions between things like a single blade of grass, a flower, a colony of fungi, or even a tree. It is less of a real conversation as an expression of concerns or directions. This can lead a druid in a specific direction should they be searching for something or have a plant directly express a plea for help. 

This conversation can take place after a druid focuses upon the specific voice over the course of [2] emotes before persisting in a conversation lasting until the druid is either interrupted or drops the connection. Not costing any physical exhaustion as it is but an extension of base communion.

Redlines:

• Tuning requires 2 emotes to establish the link between plant and druid [1 connection + 1 cast]
• Any information gathered from a plant cannot be used to metagame other players, for example one could not ask for directions as to where someone had run off from or if they had been to a certain location. Although should this ability be used within an event it will be up to the ET’s discretion if to allow the plant to express the way something may have gone.
• Plants can display information or concern in baseline and simplistic thoughts to help guide the druid. Like the location of spots of blight in the forest.
• Does not cost the druid any exhaustion, acting as a passive ability.
• Must fall within the 15 meter radius of communion.

Commune (Non-combative) - Similar to the ability of Tuning a druid may establish a connection with a singular animal or a grouping of smaller animals. Through a display of emotions and general thoughts, that they may converse back and forth with. This established link can be used to gather information or simply have a conversation with an already passive animal.

This conversation can take place after a druid focuses upon the specific voice over the course of [2] emotes before persisting in a conversation lasting until the druid is either interrupted or drops the connection. Not costing any physical exhaustion as it is but an extension of base communion.

As a druid grows in maturity naturally animal life will become aware and at ease with their presence with respect to their tier.

T2: When the druid first learns this ability animals will act as they would naturally around any descendant.

T3: Only passive animals like farm animals, small woodland creatures, and house animals will feel at ease around the druid.

T4: Larger animals like wolves, cervidae, and wild cats become more naturally akin to the presence of the druid but will remain distant and often untrustworthy.

T5:  Animals like wolves, cervidae, and wild cats will now pay little mind to the druid, although the largest of the animals like Bears, Lions, and Moose will still keep a distrust of the druid. Often due to their position within the natural hierarchy. 

• Commune requires 2 emotes to establish the link between animal and druid [1 connection + 1 cast]
• Any information gathered from an animal cannot be used to metagame other players, for example one could not ask for directions as to where someone had run off from or if they had been to a certain location. Although should this ability be used within an event it will be up to the ET’s discretion if to allow the animal to express the way something may have gone.
• Animals can display information or concern in baseline and simplistic thoughts to help guide the druid. Like the location of spots of blight in the forest.
• Does not cost the druid any exhaustion, acting as a passive ability.
• Must fall within the 15 meter radius of communion.

Pacify (Combative) - A blessing from the Aspects intended to calm unruly beasts preventing them from attacking the druids that are attempting to help it. Through the span of [2] emotes a druid may expel natural energies within themselves costing [2] chords to sway a beast's actions elsewhere.

More akin to a sudden command a druid may force a will upon an animal to calm themselves, flee from the scene, or any other form of command that will not result in the harm of the animal itself.

• Pacify requires 2 emotes to establish the link between animal and druid [1 connection + 1 cast] Costing [2] chords.
• Pacify allows for a druid to command an animal to perform a simple action, generally displayed through one word.
• This ability can be used against player animals like dogs, horses, or any other sort of natural companion that falls under a natural creature.
• Cannot be used against voidally summoned animals or other forms of unnatural.
• The command given to the animal will persist until the encounter is completely over leaving them essentially unusable within that time. 

Redlines:

• Animals that fall under beastspeak is just about any form of animal that you could expect to see within the real world, in addition to any other creature that is allowed to be communed with (Et ran or otherwise).
• A druid may only commune with [1] Large creatures akin to the size of a moose, [2] medium creatures the size of wolves, [3] small creatures the size of rabbits while things like insects act as a singular swarm to commune with.

Drawing out their aura a Druid may mold it into a small orb over the course of [2] emotes. Gradually coming to hold the same light as a torch taking on the aesthetic look of either the light of the sun or moon. This conjured orb with circulate around the druid or drift slightly before them. Floating around the Druid lasting until it is no longer needed.

Redlines:

• Requires 2 emotes to cast [1 connection + drawing out, 1 forming] 
• The orb can only be summoned once per encounter, meaning if it suddenly gets put out by a larger light it cannot be summoned until the Druid leaves that roleplay encounter.
• The orb may only travel 3 blocks ahead of the druid before they must follow along with it.
• Holds the brightness of a torch, but cannot be used to blind or disorientate enemies.
• Aesthetically it can take on either the appearance of sunlight or moonlight.
• The orb will last as long as the Druid needs until they find light once more.

Upon channeling their own natural energies a druid may coat themselves in a veil over the course of [2] emotes. Clinging to their body allows the druid to breathe within the water for [2] additional IRL hours within the water while also being able to move freely through it with little resistance. 

This veil of energy may take on a number of different appearances physically but should all be in line with what would make sense helping the druid. For example the mists could take the shape of gills on the druid's neck/torso, or they could have their mists drift between their hands and feet to create webbed digits to showcase the ease of moving within the water.

Redlines:

• Requires 2 emotes to cast [1 connection, 1 cast].
• When the druid’s 2 hours run out they can still hold their breath, but a realistic timer starts until they run out of oxygen.
• The druid may still feel the pressure of water around them, but it will not hinder their movement until the 2 hours are over.
• A druid will move as if they were walking on land perfectly, being able to react the same as well as attack the same as if they were above water.
• Should Deep Stride be utilized within combat mechanically standard combat rules will still apply for how quickly they may move. But they will be able to remain breathing underwater.
• Strikes made by a druid utilizing Deep Stride will not be inhibited where one swinging their sword beneath the water would be faced with resistance.
• Should a druid be knocked out within the waters their veil that sorrounded their form would dissapate as they are no longer able to cast. Leaving them to be effected by the elements unless recasted or assisted by another person.
• Should something occur to the waters such as electricity running across it the druid will be effected all the same as they would naturally be.

The druid must concentrate on their hopeful, or less so self, ‘fore sending their voice across the desired area in order to influence a greater majority of the wildlife around them. Via singing, the druid spends [4] emotes harnessing their inner voice and mists to then soothe the plants and animals in a 12x12 area around them. This will almost instantly affect the wildlife after [2] emotes of building up, then releasing their demands upon the wildlife. The following [2] emotes consist of the wildlife either calming, or being riled up, depending on what the druid wishes to do.

In less of a rush, the druid may expel their influence outward in a 15x15 area that gradually affects wildlife over the course of [6] emotes total. The first [3] emotes consist of the druid focusing on their inner voice, before expelling it outward upon the [3rd]. The following [3] emotes passively influence the wildlife, until they are overcome by the will of the druid. 

Redline:

• Singing may not be utilized in combat scenarios.
• The area effected must be around the druid, not extending past the defined area.
• Singing will only ever ease wildlife to a silent rest, or to an angered, frenzied state.
• One druid’s influence over the area will not cancel out or overpower another’s, unless they exceed the other druid in tier.
• The effect does not last forever, only for an OOC day at most.

Greensight (Passive) - The world around them is perceived via projected images from plants and animals all around. The druid’s attunement to nature serves as a conduit, fed off of by the druid, and fed into by the wildlife around them, granting them sight over their surroundings. Due to perceiving life from another’s point of view, the greenseer is capable of seeing all of the world’s wonders, including descendants, though they appear distorted and uncanny to the greenseer. The same goes for any and all things of unnatural make, such as blight, dragons, and any magic aside from druidism. All ‘unnatural’ things seen via greensight appear exaggerated and uncanny, capable of bringing the druid minor discomfort. The druid is allowed to incorporate their casting aesthetic to their greensight, meaning Druid 1 may see the world as if it were made of sentient flame, or with the warble of heated surfaces distorting areas within their sight. This is purely for aesthetics.

In addition to this, seeing druid’s may utilize greensight should they have their vision obscured through the use of communion. Over the course of [3] emotes, the druid in question can passively have the surrounding flora and fauna grant them their sight, allowing them to see for an additional span of [4] emotes. 

Projection - The most practiced of greenseers are capable of attuning to nearby animals to make use of their senses for some while. For instance, the druid may project their minds into the mind of a nearby bird and utilize its eyes to survey an area, allowing them to see all just as the bird would. Similarly, the druid can make use of another animal's hearing, sense of smell, or any other sense so long as they are within line of sight (20 blocks) of the druid. To utilize this ability, the druid must first enter a state of greensight, locate the desired animal, then project themselves into the creature’s mind over the course of (3) emotes. Upon the (4th) emote, the druid may use the animal's senses for a period of (3) additional emotes. However, if the animal is killed or harmed during this process, the druid is stunned for a span of (3) emotes, losing the sense they were using that animal for during this period. Utilizing this form of greensight will cost the druid [3] chords.

A druid can choose to resign the use of their physical eyes and instead use Greensight to receive brief images from the plants and animals around them allowing them to see in all directions within 20 blocks but only so long as something alive and of natural origin is around. Such a thing leaves the druid defenseless in environments with little life.
 

Redlines:

• Greensight does not need to be directly taught to a druid for it to work, though in order to access projection, or combat based abilities, the druid must be taught.
• Greensight projectiong is not ‘warging’ or ‘skinchanging.’ You cannot enter the mind of an animal and have it perform outrageous feats in combat. 
• Greensight cannot be used to metagame information about someone, for example you cannot retroactively say you were using projection to listen into a conversation.
• This spell is merely meant for surveying and scouting and has no capability outside of that. 
• When projecting into another animal, the druid’s movement is entirely stilled. Their consciousness is no longer in their body until they sever the connection to the animal, or it is forcefully severed.
• The harming of a projected animal induces effects on the greenseer akin to flash powder [see Alchemy III] through a prolonged, painful period of [3] emotes.
• In areas without nature’s call or any plant or wildlife, the greenseer is entirely blind.
• Greensight is an imperfect way of regaining vision. While people will be recognizable, exact details may be off or distorted. (To lesser extremes, such as color blindness)
• Seeing druids are capable of using greensight, though they must cover their eyes in order to use it.
• Greensight works the same for blind and nonblind druids, requiring to be activated.
• If a blind druid activate greensight, it is passive and can last for as long as they wish.
• A non blind druid may activate greensight and use it so long as their vision is obscured by something.
• You may only use one sense while projecting into an animal.

Drawing upon their own and surrounding natural energies a druid may hold their aura within, creating a reservoir before suddenly releasing it in a dome of fog or dust like particles over the course of [4] emotes. This process will cost the Druid [4] Chords, taking on the appearance of a clouded area that would match the biome it was cast within or that of the druids aura color. Covering 6x6 space for 6 emotes before slowly dissipating in form. Making it near impossible to see within the space without the use of Greensight.

Depending upon the location the spell is cast within the conjured fog may take on different appearances. Say a druid were in a dense forest a natural fog would be conjured forth, a druid in a barren dessert would create a swirling dust cloud of sand and dirt, while even a druid beneath the waves could create dense marine layer.

Redlines:

• Requires 3 emotes of channeling and 1 of releasing the gathered energy, while costing the druid 4 chords.  [1 connection, 2 building up of aura, 1 releasing of fog.]
• The dome of fog will extend outward from druid making them the center point of the clouded area.
• The fog conjured will remain until the end of the combative scenario before dispersing itself naturally.
• Should they be interrupted while casting the spell, they will lose concentration and progress on the spell. Causing whatever has been gathered to suddenly dispel elsewhere
• Druids are not able to see through the fog, they will be at the same advantage as their opponent unless they use green sight or some other form of mystical vision.
• Should a space be smaller than the 6x6 dome of space the fog will spill out where capable like doors or opened windows, otherwise being trapped in the smaller space.

The Luonto is more or less an extension of the druid it belongs to. It does not know anything the druid would not know, or grant any advantage in or out of combat. It is solely an aesthetic ability. The Lunto is conjured after a total of [2] emotes for a T5 druid. From their passive connection, the druid may choose to focus on nature, rather than perceive it passively for [1] emote. The following [1] emote is spent ushering their casting aesthetic, or mists, out from their body, thus shaping their Luonto.

Redlines:

• Requires 2 emotes total. 1 emote of deepening their connection, and another of ushering their connection out of their body.
• The Luonto may only reach the size of a moose. It is able to be represented by any animal, or gathering of animals, so long as it does not exceed the total size of one moose.
• The Luonto grants the druid no benefit in roleplay, whether it be combative or noncombative.
• Should combat arise, the Luonto will retreat back into its caster.

Growth acts as one of the trademark abilities of druidism, in which a druid may fuel plant life with their own druidic energy to expedite the growing process of whatever it may be they wish. This often can be seen as a passive ability where a druid is only assisting in the process of nature as opposed to manipulating it. Not placing a heavy penalty upon the druid in terms of exhaustion should the casting be purely noncombative.

At an early stage a novice druid may struggle, but as time goes on the process becomes akin to second nature. For smaller plants like flowers, fungi, or bushes the growth process must take place over [3] emotes at a minimum. While larger plants like a tree for example require [4] emotes of reaching their peak. Being that of the 15-meter range of the druid's base communion.

• Growth requires 3 emotes at a minimum increasing per the size of the plant to cast uninterrupted [1 connection, 1 guidance, 1 growth]
• Growth cannot be used in any form of direct combat, acting as an introductory ability.

Druidcraft - That being said, growth can also be utilized in other creative means aside from simply increasing the speed at which plant ages or spreads. A druid may utilize parts of plant life to assist in the creation of tools. For example, a druid may weave together a number of vines and leaves to create a sturdy rope that they may need. Though this more adaptive form of growth requires the cost of [1] chord per 2 meters of plant life used. Requiring the druid to channel their natural energies for at least [3] emotes extending by [1] chord per emote used extending the plantlife manipulated. 

Redlines:

• Druidcraft acts as a sub-ability of Growth that allows for the manipulation of plant life into mundane items that can help players. Some examples are a Rope, a wooden brace, or even the rough makings of a bow without a string.
• Druidcraft requires 3 emotes uninterrupted while costing the druid 1 chord. Should they wish to create something larger than 2 meters it will require an additional emote and chord.
• All created items hold the same strength as their mundane counterpart, acting as more of an aesthetic flavor ability a druid may perform for roleplay.

Over the course of [3] emotes a druid can call forth a nearby limb, root, or larger piece of plantlife to shift towards a target in a combative manner. Initially costing [3] chords to reach its target, while requiring additional chords should they wish to ensnare and then begin to crush. As well as requiring [1] additional emote per further action upon the target.

The range that is applicable to Surge is the same as Communion 15-meters, allowing them to pull from plants in the area that are mechanically present. Such as a built tree, a nearby shrub, or even a large group of seaweed. It should be stated that the strength that is present within the plants would not cause immediate death taking multiple emote rounds to kill a target through the use of crushing them serving as a far better mean to hold them within the place.

Redlines:

• Requires 3 emotes to cast [1 connection, 1 guidance of the plant, 1 arriving at desired location/striking target] costing 3 chords in total, while additional actions require 1 chord per extending emote. For example once the plant arrives at the target [1 moving to ensnare the target in place, 1 beginning to crush + additional emote rounds of crushing should they have the chords.]
• All utilized plant life should have some representation mechanically, for example, it would not make sense for a druid to use roots within a dune-covered desert.
• Should they be interrupted while casting the spell, they will lose concentration and progress on the spell. Causing whatever has been grown to sink back away inert.
• Controlled plants can withstand three attacks of a bladed weapon no matter the descendant race, while only being able to withstand two strikes from an axe.
• Should the controlled plants caught by a flame count as one strike towards the three needed to destroy it while causing recurring damage to happen each round.

Over the course of [2] emotes for lesser variations of the spell, typically for making flowers blossom or to coat something in an aesthetic layer of plant life, a druid is capable of imbuing the flora around them into a state of passive harmony for as long as the druid remains in a 6x6 area around it. After [1] emote of lax concentration, the druid may then spend the next [1] emote spreading their influence over the plant life around them. 

Otherwise, a more concentrated version of gleaning may be utilized on plants to harvest a seed or sapling from them. This spans over the course of [4] emotes, with the druid communing with the plant for [1] emote before it begins to procure its seed or sapling on the [2nd] emote. On the [3rd], the bark may begin to peel aside to make room for the sapling being pushed out, or, the seeds may begin to slither from off of the plant. On the [4th] and final emote, the seeds or saplings may topple out into the druid’s hands.

Redlines:

• Gleaning may not be utilized in combat.
• The area effected must be around the druid, not extending past the defined area.
• Gleaning may be used on Soul Trees in order to harvest their sapling, though a Tree Lord will still believe their tree is under attack and will retaliate, as will the tree itself. 
• Gleaning may only be used on naturally occurring plants, as well as fae plants.
• Removing these seeds requires OOC consent of the owner of the plant.

During a span of [4] emotes, a druid is capable of soothing a plant to rest. Whether for a brief period where it might be rendered docile, or forever; to a seedling under the discretion of the druid. During the first [2] emotes, the druid must commune with and soothe the plant in some reassuring light, before it will begin to wither and grow smaller to the point the druid so desires. The final [2] emotes are spent allowing the plant to shrink, either to a smaller, less matured version of its old self, or into a simple seed or sapling, ready to be planted. 

Redlines:

• Ungrowth is not to be used in combat.
• A druid may cast ungrowth on a soul tree or epiphyte’s fae plant, with the OOC consent of the player who is the owner or the plant in question.
• Ungrowth does not kill plants. At most, it diminishes it to its most pure, simplest form. A seed or sapling. 
• Ungrowth may only be used on naturally occurring flora.
• When ungrowing a massive tree, multiple druids will be required to be present, alongside a few additional emotes to compensate for the size of the tree.

A druid at this stage of their abilities gains the ability to imbue the earth with their energies and summon forth a small plot of land within which brambles and thorns take hold of anything that may pass through, inhibiting their movement for the duration that they remain within it. 

Over the course of [3] emotes a druid can place their hands into the earth and summon forth roots and restrictive flora in a 3x3 area before them draining the druid of [4] chords. This process is mainly the druid lowering themselves to the ground before communing with deep set roots beneath the ground before suddenly urging them to appear in the third emote.  When moving through the rooted land players will find that it slows them to a quarter of their natural speed as living roots latch to their legs pulling them back. These brambles will slowly fade away after [3] emotes sinking back into the ground or are sent away after two direct strikes into its mass.

Redlines:

• Requires [3] emotes to cast in tandem with costing [3] chords. [1 connection, 2 casting/bursting out.]
• Should they be interrupted while casting the spell, they will lose concentration and progress on the spell. Causing whatever has been grown to sink back into the ground inert.
• The bramble can withstand two attacks no matter the descendant race, requiring something with the equivalent strength of a siege weapon in order to break it with 1 strike.
• The ensnared ground being caught by a flame will count as one strike towards the two needed to destroy it while causing recurring damage to happen each round.
• The ensnared ground can only be formed directly in front of the druid, having a limited range.
• Ensnared ground must be cast upon natural soil such as dirt, rock, and in some cases sand should things like mangroves be realistically nearby.
• As an alternative for flavor a druid may use seeds, although the distant limits are still imposed.

A modified form of surge pulling forth stray roots from the surrounding area and offering them additional energy over the course of [3] emotes, while costing [4] Chords. Forming a 2-wide by 3-high wall of bramble thorn covered roots. Being able to withstand [3] physical strikes from a humanoid, or a single strike from the equivalent of a siege weapon (cannon shot for example) before falling apart to the ground below.

Redlines:

• Requires 2 emotes of channeling and 1 sprouting and growth of the wall, costing the druid 3 chords.  [1 connection, 2 casting/bursting out.]
• Should they be interrupted while casting the spell, they will lose concentration and progress on the spell. Causing whatever has been grown to sink back into the ground inert.
• The bramble wall can withstand three attacks no matter the descendant race, requiring something with the equivalent strength of a siege weapon in order to break it with 1 strike.
• The wall being caught by a flame will count as one strike toward the three needed to destroy it while causing recurring damage to happen each round.
• The bramble wall can only be formed directly in front of the druid, having a limited range.
• The bramble wall must be cast upon natural soil such as dirt, rock, and in some cases sand should things like mangroves realistically be nearby.
• As an alternative for flavor a druid may use seeds, although the distant limits are still imposed.

In wooded areas, a druid is capable of creating an entling: a 7 to 8 foot tall creature of wooden make, harboring strength akin to an orc. The creature acts synonymously with the druid after being created by the druid’s energies and influence, tethering its actions to the will of the druid. The entling, while strong, may only move up to 3 blocks per combative emote, or 6 when solely sprinting. They are weak to azhl blighting, flame, thanhium, as well as axes and heavy blunt force damage. Two strikes to the head with an axe may dispatch an entling, while three from a heavy blunt weapon will allow for similar results. Edged weapons, such as spears and swords, will take 5 blows to the head in order to slay the creature. If set ablaze and not put out after [4] emotes of burning, the entling will crumble away. Azhl and thanhium will disable the entling’s limbs when struck, while striking at the head will count as double the damage. 

From nearby trees, the druid may spend [6] chords over the course of [5] emotes to create their own entling. The first [2] emotes are spent coercing the tree to create such a creature, while the following [2] are spent creating the entling so long as the druid is within 3 blocks of the tree. On the [5th] emote, the entling will rise from the bark.

Redlines:

• An entling may act in tandem with the druid, acting in the same emote as the druid does.
• An entling will be pulled back into the soil upon being slain or at the end of combat. Left behind will be buddings of flowers and occasionally an entire sapling.
• The entling follows the internal will of the druid and will be controlled by the druid that created it only.
• Entlings may not surpass 8 feet in height.
• Entlings may only harbor strength akin to an orc.
• Entlings are slower than typical descendants, making their strikes slower, and their maneuvering speed less adept at a speed of 3 blocks per combative emote, and 6 per sprinting emote.
• Blows from an axe damage the entling the most out of all weapons. 2 blows to the head from an axe will kill an entling. Limbs take three strikes to cleave through, similar to druidic limbs. These are halved to 2 by azhl and thanhium based axes. 
• Damage done via heavy blunt force will destroy an entling’s head in 3 strikes, the same going for its limbs. Azhl and thanhium will immediately disable limbs, and half the amount of strikes needed to destroy the head to roughly 2 strikes. 
• If set on fire the entling must be put out by a third party. 2 emotes of smothering the flame will suffice. It takes 4 emotes before an entling is slain by fire.
• Swords and spears are not very effective against entlings. 5 strikes to the head will destroy it, with 6 for the limbs. Azhl and thanhium still immediately disable limbs, and halve the damage needed for the head (3 strikes) and limbs (2 strikes).

Once a druid reaches the pinnacle of their connection to nature and its song around them they can become almost one with it and the constant flow of its interpretive song. Awakening them to otherworldly abilities that verge on the fantastical, allowing them to move swiftly through the forest trees that they may protect.

Over the course of [4] emotes a druid may become one with a tree merging into its form. Initially starting out with a druid opening the connection with one tree while having another in view within 20 blocks. Before slowly as they commune with the tree they begin to become one with it, bark growing across their skin and slowly pulling them within. At which their vision will blur into that of shifting emerald as they are completely swallowed by the tree. Traveling through the roots beneath the forest before bursting through a tree within the traveled range. Draining the druid of a majority of their strength costing a total of [6] chords.

Redlines:

• Requires [4] emotes for the complete process to occur [1 connection, 1 communing with the nearby tree, 1 the bark spreading onto the druid and them sinking within, 1 being completely pulled fully within before suddenly breaking through the tree]. While costing a total of [6] chords.
• Should the druid be interrupted at all during this process they will lose all progress as well as the chords needed to utilize the ability.
• A druid may only travel the distance if the trees they are attempting to pass through are mechanically there.
• The druid may only transfer to a tree within their line of sight, capping out at a range of 20 blocks, essentially serving as a spell to quickly catch up to someone or make a quick escape.

Over the course of [2] emotes a Druid may imbue their staff with their own natural energies costing [1] Chord. Strengthening the tool of worship to be as strong as an iron mace while hitting with the same impact as one. This momentary enchantment will last for either as long as the Druid has it within their hand or the period of [5] emotes goes by.

Redlines:

• Shillelagh requires 2 emotes to cast uninterrupted [1 connection, 1 infusion] and 1 chord. Lasting for 5 emotes unless knocked away from the Druid.
• Only natural materials may be infused with the energies of the spell. (Bones, Wood, and Stones for example)
• Only blunt damage can be done and will only strike as hard as the impact of an iron mace.
• While the Druid’s item is being imbued it may hold the same durability as that of a ferrum before the enchantment fades.
• Should a Druid's staff also be a weapon of some kind for the period of time that the spell is active it will only do blunt damage.
• Sheleighleigh Infusion cannot be done with ranged weaponry. Only a Druids casting focus.

Over the span of [3] emotes the druid may grant another druid some of their own chords - as many as the casting druid wishes to give. Although within events only should a druid wish to perform a larger feat of druidic magic power-sharing can bolster the strength of another druid's spells heightening the feat into something stronger with ET discretion.

Redlines:

• Power-sharing grants another druid your own chords, meaning you lose the chords you supply them with.
• A druids chords may not exceed the limit for their respective tier. 
• In events only, the bolstered druid’s spells will only be as powerful as the ET running your sect of the event calls for. You cannot create a kaiju entling yourself.

A druid is capable of adorning their battered and worn bodies with living limbs of wooden make that will soon act as would any other false appendage. These limbs must first be communed with by the druid, establishing a connection that joins the pair. This limb then allows for the druid to feed into it passively, for if the druid does not harness their energies into this limb, it will simply fall inert. 

Through trial and error, the druid will learn how to utilize communion in tandem with the living wood, allowing for it to eventually become almost as rehearsed and practiced as your typical limb would. Over the course of [1] OOC week, the druid will soon become accustomed to the living wood. This by no means grants them a true sense of touch, only allowing for the druid to feel slight pressure put on their druidic limb. 

After this period, the druid may also utilize Growth on their new limb, shaping it to better suit their needs. Over the course of [3] emotes, the druid may alter their limb to form talons, blades, or anything within reach of their mind, though the results of altering the living wood are more often a detriment rather than a bolster in strength or ability. At best, talons formed from the limb will be able to cut through fabric, but they will entirely shatter against armor. Greater transformations will compromise the structure of the limb, and will likely destroy it. 

In addition to Growth, a druid may utilize Gleaning outside of combat, calling for their limb to grow flowers or other flora that purely exist to alter the aesthetic of the prosthetic.

While wooden, drudic limbs are susceptible to the same detriments any other tree or wooden appliance would be. If caught ablaze, the druidic limb will burn steadily unless stamped out for a total of [5] emotes before total immolation; the limb chars and becomes brittle upon the 3rd, and crumbles away to ash upon the 5th. Magical flame burdens the limb more heavily, charring the living wood upon the 2nd emote of burning, and crumbling it away upon the 4th. Druidic limbs are also weakened when it comes to axes and other blunt weapons, where after [3] emotes of being struck, the limb will become inoperable. Otherwise, weapons such as swords or knives will be able to cut through the ‘skin’, or bark of the wood, but will perform poorly in making any lasting damage. Their emote count count doubles from the [3] of axes and blunt weapons, to [6] emotes total. Lastly, magic disabling magics, materials, or potions; such as kani, thanhium, and null arcana, will render the limb inactive when used, but will not outright cripple or ruin the limb.

Redlines:

• Druidic limbs, as in the name, may only be used to replace limbs. Arms and legs. Nothing more.
• Druidic limbs are not perfect replacements to lost limbs. They are less precise, slower, and not as fast to react.
• A druid cannot ‘feel’ through their druidic limbs, only able to feel pressure from things that come into contact with it.
• A druidic limb does not bolster the wielder’s strength in any regard.
• The druidic limb must replicate the limb it is replacing. 
• During combat, a druidic limb cannot be fitted to the druid.
• Gleaning may not be utilized on the druidic limb during a combat encounter.
• Attempting to use Growth on the druidic limb to change it into anything NOT resembling the limb that was lost, such as a sword or shield, will cause the limb to fall apart.
• A druid may only imbue a wooden limb with this enchantment if they’ve learned the druidic infusion ability for it. If the druid being gifted the limb does not know the infusion, it may be done for them by a more learned druid.
• The wood used to craft the limb will always maintain the same strength as any other when imbued with the enchantment. 
• Lore approved woods, such as ironwood, will be reverted back to the strength of mundane wood should it be used to create a druidic limb.
• Two full limbs may be replaced by druidic limbs, while four half limbs (elbow down, knee down) may be replaced as well. Anything more is too strenuous for the druid.
• If a druidic limb is struck with Azhl or Thanium it will become blighted or depower within 3 direct strikes against the limb. In either outcome the limb will become unusable unless fixed outside of conflict.
• Druidic limbs being made of wood are subject to forms of fire excluding malflame not being directly attached to the druids soul. The limbs will be damaged by flame as they naturally would.
• Druidic limbs may be player signed.

The art of druidic infusion is one that has been passed down for millennia from druid to druid, culminating in numerous powerful relics and artifacts of the Aspects. Acting as in averted blessings from the ever distant Aenguls. These artifacts are often given the ability to last and exist separate from a druid's own capabilities. Some notable examples of greater infusion are the Blight Stone along with the Aspect Stones themselves.

To create these infused items a druid must be at the pinnacle of their connection to the Aspects to enact minor infusion bestowing the object with a druidic enchantment. These enchantments may only be placed upon natural materials such as wood, stone, crystal or other precious gems, Kuila crystals, bone, or hides. Adjustments to its form for example carving a design into wood must be done beforehand as it cannot be done while the process of infusion takes place.

When a druid wishes to create one of this blessed trinkets or enchanted artifacts the ritual must be done within a place deep within the wilds untouched by civilization, some such places are a Grove, a Fae Ring, an Attunement Pool or simply any other place far away from civilization. Placing the item before them within their selected location the Druid will begin pooling together the natural energies within and around them channeling within them before releasing them into the chosen item before them. The entire process takes at a minimum of [4] emotes while also leaving the druid completely exhausted for the remainder of the two IRL days.

Leaving the druid extremely vulnerable within that time not being able to access any of their abilities directly, including that of passive communion.

All Druidic Infusions are either active or passive abilities, meaning that some abilities are either continuously active or require the druid to urge them to occur, often taking time to recharge after its usage. This must be dictated within the created RP item to represent its effects.

Known Infusions:

General Redlines:

• All infusions are considered T5, due to the T5 Requirements for infusions.
• Infused objects must fall in line with all the listed enchantments across Druidic subtypes. As well the druid must have been taught the matching subtype to infuse an item with the selected spell.
• Infusions that wish to utilize a greater scope of abilities, a combination of listed infusions, or creating something new require a Mart.
• Kuila crystals may also be enchanted, however only the Druid they are bound to will be able to activate and replenish them.
• Druidic infusions cannot be combined with other forms of enchantments, unless directly stated within the opposing lore.
• Three or more enchantments on a single item requires a Mart.
• Druids may not infuse any living creatures.
• A druid may only carry three infused items upon them at a time for combative use.
• Infusion for a sentient object with unique abilities requires a Mart, an example being a living staff that can move about uniquely.
• Infusions surrounding Fae creatures, the Fae Realm, Mani, etc. Require a Mart to be created unless they are a beacon.
• Infusions may not surround the Aspects directly  in any way even if it is a Mart.
• All infusions must be at a minimum of four [4] decent multi-line emotes to infuse.
• All enchantments are fueled passively by a being nearby a druid.

Greetings everyone RaiderBlue here. Within my time playing a druid on LoTC over the course of a little more than 2 years I’ve come to the realization that when compared to similar widespread community magics druidism is outdated, within system and utility use. While I am aware that there has been another druidism write posted before this one I felt that it was lacking in any real changes acting much more like an addition and amendment than a rewrite. Along with merging multiple druid magics into one, forcing druids to take up Blight Healing & Herblore at the same time instead of the previously customizable options currently available.

With this write we’ve come together with a new system for druidic exhaustion while granting druids a wider range of utility based abilities. Allowing them to fall into a very versatile category of magic. The intention of this is to allow druids to have the ability to be problem solvers, being able to create something or adapt themselves to a situation when need be. All druids should this rewrite be accepted will inherently learn each of the new abilities and how they function should they be T4 or beyond, while those below should be taught by their respective teachers.

It should be noted that this write is made in tandem with Mayrndz Blight Healing Rewrite, though at the time of writing they are currently on hiatus. Should this post be reviewed before theirs is posted or should it be denied, the infusions added from their rewrite will be replaced with the current ones in place for Blight Healing.
