This page is about the druidry skill practiced by Blacktalon druids. If you are looking for the Hartstone version, see Druidry (Stag).

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.



Infestation

Syntax
FORESTCAST INFESTATION [target|NODES]
Power: 3 (Ravenwood) (Nodes only)

Damage Type: Poison

Summon forth a swarm of blood-thirsty insects to attack and infest your enemies.
You may target a single enemy or target all enemies between connecting nodes and the node you are standing on.


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
FORESTCAST SENSE
FORESTCAST WATCH ON/OFF
FORESTCAST DISSOLVE
FORESTCAST BOND
FORESTCAST UNBOND
DEMESNE
DEMESNE [NODES|ROOMS|BONDS|EFFECTS]

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)

Command the trees to toss your enemies out of your location; or if you are located at one of your nodes, away from all nodes in the demesne.


Murder

Syntax
FORESTCAST MURDER [DAMPEN]
Damage Type: 50% Cutting 50% Unblockable

Murders of crows will swoop through your demesne, damaging and knocking over your enemies. If they are already knocked over, they'll be knocked off balance.

Additional Notes:
Meld Effect: this will be cast throughout your demesne. You can append DAMPEN to lower this effect.


Briars

Syntax
FORESTCAST BRIARS [DAMPEN]

Walls of vines and thorns will have a chance of blocking your enemies, keeping them in the room if they attempt to leave and infesting them.

Additional Notes:
Meld Effect, this will be cast throughout your demesne. You can append DAMPEN to lower this effect.


Dissolve

Syntax
DISSOLVE [<target>|NODES|MELD]
Power: 5 (Matrix) (Nodes)

10 (Matrix) (Meld)

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. You can also dissolve it from all enemies between connecting nodes, or all enemies inside your entire meld for a power cost.


Spores

Syntax
FORESTCAST SPORES [DAMPEN]

Spores will drift through your demesne, which will cause random afflictions and build upon your enemies.

Additional Notes:
Meld Effect, this will be cast throughout your demesne. You can append DAMPEN to lower this effect.


InsectCloud

Syntax
FORESTCAST INSECTCLOUD [DAMPEN]

You can summon a swarm of insects that will obfuscate locations and infest your enemies.

Additional Notes:
Meld Effect, This will be cast throughout your demesne. You can append DAMPEN to lower this effect.


Swarm

Syntax
FORESTCAST SWARM [DAMPEN]

Swarms of insects will patrol your demesne, stunning and infesting your enemies.

Additional Notes:
Meld Effect, this will be cast throughout your demesne. You can append DAMPEN to lower this effect.


Totem

Syntax
FORESTCAST TOTEM
Power: 10 (Master Ravenwood)

Call on Great Crow to gift you with a crow's egg. The power cost will be significantly less if cast on the Ethereal Plane. The crow will be able to fly and have the unique inherent ability to give dysentery.
Every two years you may summon another crow egg.

Syntax
BEAST ORDER INFEST <target>
Beast Mana: 250

This is a unique attack that damage with poison and may give the dysentery disease.

Additional Notes:
If you lose the druidry skill of totem or forget the Crow specialisation, your crow will not abandon you; however, it will lose its special beast abilities. You do not need the Beastmastery skill of flying in order to fly so long as you have the druidry skill of totem and the Crow specialisation.


Treelife

Syntax
FORESTCAST TREELIFE [DAMPEN]

Command the trees to knock those that dare to fly in your domain to the ground. Those on the ground will be pulled into the trees.
Furthermore, any who attempt to fly may find themselves caught in the branches.

Additional Notes:
