Nature is the prime skill of both druids and wiccans, and reflects their bond with the natural kingdom, especially forests. Earth magic is drawn from the Ethereal Plane, and druids and most especially wiccans maintain close bonds with the fae. Upon mastering nature, druids and wiccans move on to specialize in two very different paths: Druidry and Wicca.
