| Power: 10 (Commune Nexus) |
When a mystic tree of your commune becomes an elder, you may call upon the powers of nature to transform it into a living totem, which will remain standing for a year and a day before reverting back to an elder tree. Living totems cannot be chopped down. The type of power depends on what commune the tree to carve is associated with.
When carving a totem, power will first attempt to be drawn from a wielded powerstone, then your personal reserve, and then finally your active power.
Greenman

| PAINT FACE GREENMAN |
| Tints Required: greentint 2 |
This ceremony will paint the representation of the Greenman on your face, which will help speed in the recovery of your will and endurance. To remove all facepaints, you must WIPE FACE. To wipe a specific facepaint, WIPE FACE <paint>.
Bonding

Varies (to renew) (Moonhart Tree) |

You may assign a Druid caretaker for your totem, which will allow them to affix runes to the totem and tune it as though it were their own. If you are a Druid, sense will also show you the locations of any totems for which you are the caretaker.
Ringwalk
| Syntax |
| RINGWALK |
The ringwalk is the sacred run of White Hart, which you can create in any location. The stag spirit within will circle in a ring around you, giving a slight chance of blocking anyone from exiting. This chance will increase if you are in stag form and stacks with other stags also walking the ring. Those who specialize in the Stag Totem are immune from this effect.

If someone is prone, you may stomp on them, knocking out their wind. They will be forced to concentrate before being able to gain equilibrium. There is a chance of breaking your target's legs while stomping. If you have the STAGFORM skill, you may stag stomp at a reduced power cost.

Bellow
| Syntax |
| BELLOW <target> BELLOW |
The bellow of White Hart is truly a fearsome sound, so much in fact that it will stun everyone in your location to whom it is directed at. You may target a specific individual using the first syntax, or you may direct it to all your personal enemies using the second syntax. To those that you target the bellow, the strong focus of sound will cause even the most deaf to hear once again.

| The stun is significantly shorter when targeted Bellow strips earwort deafness. |
Pacing
| Syntax |

| Pacing also makes it difficult to LOSE you via that command. |

| PARADE <target> |
| Power: 1 (Moonhart Tree) 0 if in STAGFORM |

Sacrifice
| Syntax |
| STAGCALL SACRIFICE FOR <person|AREA> |
| Power: 10 (Moonhart) |
This powerful ability embodies the self-sacrificing nature of the White Hart. Using it you may either choose to sacrifice your own health and well-being for a singular person, in which case you will be severely weakened, or for an entire area, in which case you will have to give up your life.
When sacrificing for an area, your blood will flow through that area, granting all your allies in that area increased health and vitality as well as occasional curing for one full hour.
When sacrificing for an individual, you will sacrifice your health, mana, and ego which will be transferred to your recipient. You gain a 5/10 malus to all vitals and your target gains a 3/8 bonus to their vitals. This lasts so long as you both are in the same local area. If the recipient of your sacrifice dies, you will also immediately die.
StagTotem
| Syntax |
| STAGCALL TOTEM |
| Power: 5 (Moonhart Tree) |
This ability will allow you to call out to White Hart, asking him to provide you with a spirit totem in your location, which will heal you and your allies, restore your mana and cure you all of random afflictions occasionally.
This spirit totem will gradually wane, its weight and ties to the material realm fading as it uses its power, until it disappears entirely.

StagForm
| Syntax |
STAGFORM
|
| Power: 10 (Moonhart Tree) for STAGFORM 2 (Moonhart Tree) for GORE |
Perhaps the greatest gift of White Hart is granting you his mantle of power. When taking on the form of the stag, you will gain health regeneration, faster balance recovery, and the horns of a mighty stag. The powerful GORE attack not only does significant damage but it has a chance of impaling a target and will guarantee to deliver any poison, subject to shrugging, if envenomed. If they are below a quarter of their health when impaled, death is ensured. Being in stagform also gives you the gift of celerity, allowing you to move further than others before you become too hasty for your own good.
