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]

MULCH

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.

You can also MULCH saplings in a room with saplings.


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 meld in that location.


Meld

FORESTCAST MELD

FORESTCAST CLEAR
FORESTCAST CLEAR NODE <#>
FORESTCAST SENSE

FORESTCAST DISSOLVE
FORESTCAST BOND
FORESTCAST UNBOND
FORESTCAST PASS [Bonded Druid]
DEMESNE
DEMESNE [NODES

The primary power of druidry is to build your own forested demesne. By casting a 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 druid's 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 to enter your boughs 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.


IntoxicatingFlower (Stag)

Syntax
FORESTCAST INTOXICATINGFLOWER [target|NODES]
Damage Type: Electric

Command the flowers throughout your demesne to spread their deadly pollens upon your enemies.

You may target a single enemy or target all enemies between connecting nodes and the node you are standing on.


Infestation (Crow)

Syntax
FORESTCAST INFESTATION [target|NODES]
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.


Treebane

Syntax
FORESTCAST TREEBANE [HERE|NODES]
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.


Squirrels (Stag)

Syntax

Totem (Stag)

Syntax
FORESTCAST TOTEM
BEAST ORDER TREETOSS <target>
BEAST ORDER HEAL HEALTH
Power: 10 (Mother Moonhart)

Beast Ego: 500 to Heal

Call on White Hart to gift you with one of his fawns. The power cost will be significantly less if cast on the Ethereal Plane. The fawn will mature to a stag which will be able to heal your health and also have the unique inherent ability to toss others into trees.

Treetoss

This is a unique attack that will toss a target into a tree (assuming there are trees around).

Heal Health

Your stag can tap into its reserves and channel those energies into you. This is the same as the Beastmastery skill except stags have a stronger ability to heal. Note that you do not need the Beastmastery skill so long as you have the druidry skill of totem and the Stag specialization.

NOTE: If you lose the druidry skill of totem or forget the Stag specialization, your stag will not abandon you; however, it will lose its special beast abilities (including the more powerful healing).


Treelife

Syntax
FORESTCAST TREELIFE [DEMESNE]

This can be cast in a single forest location or throughout your demesne. If any of your enemies are caught flying while the trees are alive, they will be caught and pulled in by the branches of the trees. Those that walk below the branches are also vulnerable. If it is cast for your demesne, it will only affect the region of your demesne where you stand, but as you move throughout different areas of your demesne, it will shift areas with you.

Changelog:

  • The ability was changed to bring players in the sky or tree elevations down to the ground. (#2110 on 6-13-2020)


Thorns

Syntax
FORESTCAST THORNS [DEMESNE]
Damage Type: 50% Cutting 50% Asphyxiation

This can be cast in a single forest location or throughout your demesne. Anyone in the trees will be attacked by thorny branches. If it is cast for your demesne, it will only affect the region of your demesne where you stand, but as you move throughout different areas of your demesne, it will shift areas with you.


PathTwist

Syntax
FORESTCAST PATHTWIST
Power: 6 (Moonhart Tree)

This spell is only available to druids who have taken Stag as a totem. The Great Spirit of White Hart will forge a path back from where you stand to the center of your demesne. Any enemies who seek to follow you through this path will be slowed down as the thorns and branches reach out, paranoid and disoriented. Additionally, enemies who seek to leave the location of the path not at the centre of your demesne may find themselves lost in the dizzying forest trails of your demesne and forced through the path.


Briars

Syntax
FORESTCAST BRIARS [<direction>|DEMESNE]

Ordering the forests to guard an entrance with fearsome briars will create such a thicket that anyone passing that direction will become entangled in the troublesome vines. If cast on a meld, it will produce walls of briars in random locations throughout the demesne.


Dissolve

Syntax
DISSOLVE <target>

You can dissolve the aura of protection 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.


Swarm

Syntax
FORESTCAST SWARM [DEMESNE]

This can be cast in a single forest location or throughout your demesne. Wasps and bees will hear your call and swarm your enemies, paralysing them with their stings. If it is cast for your demesne, it will only affect the region of your demesne where you stand, but as you move throughout different areas of your demesne, it will shift areas with you.

As the bees sting the bodies of your opponents, any existing allergic reaction they are having will undoubtedly worsen.


Cudgel

Syntax
FORESTCAST CUDGEL
POINT CUDGEL <target> [direction]
WHIRL CUDGEL
RAISE CUDGEL
TWIRL CUDGEL
Power: 10 (Commune Nexus)

Damage Modifier: 1/8 blunt and cutting resistance
Can Target Denizens

The forests will grant you the ultimate weapon of a druid--the fearsome cudgel. By wielding the cudgel you may POINT CUDGEL at a target and release the burl burst attack, shooting thousands of tiny splinters atyour target. You can RAISE CUDGEL in a location with trees and lift everyone in that location (including yourself) up into its branches. With WHIRL CUDGEL, you can reveal anyone hiding in your location. Finally, TWIRL CUDGEL will create a shield that will offer some protection against physical attacks. The power cost is significantly less if cast on the Ethereal Plane.


Sap

Syntax
FORESTCAST SAP <target>
Power: 5 (Commune Nexus)

Casting this curse on a target who is in the trees will cause sap to coat your victim, causing any action to be delayed from the stickiness of the sap.


LightningBugs

Syntax
POINT CUDGEL <target> [<direction>] LIGHTNINGBUGS
Damage Type: 100% Electrical

Glinshari promised his followers that aid shall come from even the smallest, and indeed, it shall. A druid true of intentions and loyal to Nature shall find that even the seemingly harmless lightning bugs will come to the defense of their home - you need but ask.


Storm

Syntax
FORESTCAST STORM [DEMESNE]
Damage Type: 100% Electric

This can be cast in a single forest location or throughout your demesne. A thunder storm will cover your demesne, throwing lightning bolts at your enemies. If it is cast for your demesne, it will only affect the region of your demesne where you stand, but as you move throughout different areas of your demesne, it will shift areas with you.


ThornRend

Syntax
FORESTCAST THORNLASH <target>
FORESTCAST THORNREND <target>
Power: 2/vined limb (Commune Nexus) (thornrend only)

Nature will respond when you point out a threat, viciously wrapping spiked vines around a limb of your enemy until they writhe free. Although this is not true entanglement, it does cause bleeding should they try to move through the forest and also prevents them from flying. Further, if the legs are lashed in vines, there is a chance movement is slowed (chance increases if both legs are lashed), and lashed arms will have increased arm balance time (-5/-5 penalty). Commanding the vines to rend apart your victim will cause increased bleeding depending on how many limbs are lashed together, and if all four limbs are lashed, the vines will fatally rip apart your hapless captive.


Regrowth

Syntax
FORESTCAST REGROWTH
Power: 8 (Commune Nexus)

Your forest demesne will wildly spring to life, and become imbued with: Storm, Thorns, Spores, Pollen, Treelife, and Swarm, plus any additional demesne Druidry spells specific to your Totem specialisation.


DarkSeed

Syntax
FORESTCAST DARKSEED <target>
7 (Moonhart Tree)

Damage Type: Unblockable

This fearsome curse will plant a seed within the body of your victim. It will quickly mature, sprouting vines that painfully burst forth from the target's skin and entangle the hapless victim--multiple times.


Fury

Syntax
UNLEASH CUDGEL
Power: 10 (Commune Nexus)

Damage Type: 100% Poison (Blacktalon)
Damage Type: 100% Electric (Hartstone)

Unleash the wrath of nature in her full and glorious fury. She shall seek out your personal enemies that still stand within your demesne and leave them battered and bloodied! You must wield your cudgel and be at full mana to invoke such a spectacle. The damage will depend on how infested or built up their allergies are. It will cure them upon its finish.

Bonded melders will reduce the time until it damages.
