Druidry (Stag)
This page is about the druidry skill practiced by Hartstone druids. If you are looking for the Blacktalon version, see Druidry (Crow).
| Druids are often considered "mages of the forest" for, like mages, they create demesnes over which they have almost complete control. However, instead of using elemental magic, druids use nature magic and, thus, their demesne are great tracts of forests. |

Sapling
| Syntax |
| FORESTCAST SAPLING [DEMESNE] |
| Power: 10 (Any) (For Demesne) |
By encouraging growth within a forest location, a random type of sapling will be born. Only one sapling can grow in any location, and it will prevent any mage from changing the environment. If the location a sapling grows is not a natural forest location (i.e., a location where the environment has been changed into a forest), it will die in one Lusternian day. However, if the sapling is born into a true forest location it will permanently thrive there, growing larger and larger.
If it survives for two years, it will blossom into a mature tree, which can then be harvested for lumber. The older (and heavier) a tree is, the more lumber it will provide. If the tree is never harvested, it will eventually die on its own in about 10 years (leaving only half the lumber it would have yielded if harvested). Trees grow faster during the Spring and Summer months, as well as if the growth spell is used in its location.
Casting for the demesne will create saplings in each room for ten power.
Treebourne
So used are you to being in the canopy, you can now cling tightly to the trees without using any balance whatsoever. If you specialise in Crow and have the Perch ability, you can also use this with no balance cost.
Furthermore, you will be able to glance at the ground with no balance cost.

Forest
| Syntax |
| FORESTCAST FOREST FORESTCAST FORCEFOREST |
| Power: 1 (Commune Nexus) |
You may temporarily transform almost any environment into a forest location.
If a location is currently the demesne of any druid or mage, you can FORCE it and break the node in that location. It will take some time to break a node and will require your full concentration.
Meld
| Syntax |
| FORESTCAST MELD FORESTCAST CLEAR |
The primary power of druidry is to build your own forested demesne. By using MELD, you create a node of power. You can have up to 3 nodes at any time, and they cannot be placed next to each other. If you place nodes within 5 rooms of each other, leylines will add the connecting rooms to your demesne.
You may also BOND to a fellow druids demesne and assist them. Bonding increases the strength of the nodes and the elementals that defend them.
While in your demesne, you can SENSE who dares stand in your forest and WATCH who enters and leaves. DEMESNE will show you what rooms are included in your demesne, and what powers are currently active. You can DISSOLVE your demesne at any time or CLEAR a specific node to remove it.
Treebane
| Syntax |
| FORESTCAST TREEBANE [MELD] |
| Power: 3 (Commune Power) (Current Room) 5 (Commune Power) (All Nodes) |

You can dissolve the aura of protection defense around those who are using it to escape some of the powers of your demesne. This requires balance but not equilibrium and is a very fast attack.
