Target Eight points on the ground within short range, each of which must be at least 2 yards from another

You cause a stone to rise from one target point when you cast the spell and another stone in each round when you use an action to concentrate on the spell, until a total of eight stones appear. Each stone is 2 yards wide, 1 yard thick, and 4 yards tall, with Defense 5 and 100 Health, and remains until it is destroyed.

A stone that appears as a result of casting this spell is imbued with magical energy that lasts until you complete a rest. You can use an action, or a triggered action on your turn, to choose up to eight creatures you can see within medium range of you. The stones provide a +1 bonus to Defense and 1 boon to attack rolls for chosen creatures that are within 1 yard of at least one of the stones.

A chosen creature can use an action to touch a stone imbued with magical energy and be moved into the stone’s space. While in the stone’s space, the creature remains aware of its surroundings and of the passage of time, but it cannot do anything except to use an action to move out of the stone through the surface where it entered. If a stone is destroyed while a creature is inside it, the creature becomes fused to the rubble and dies. If the creature is still inside the stone when the stone’s magical energy dissipates, the creature is forced out of the stone, taking damage equal to twice its healing rate and gaining 1d6 Insanity.

Duration 1 minute

You, along with everything you wear and carry, turn bright green for the duration. For the duration, you can enter a space occupied by a plant of your Size or larger and instantly exit into an open space from another plant of your Size or larger that is within medium range of the plant whose space you entered.

The plant is friendly to you and uses an action and moves as you direct it (not an action), provided you are within medium range of it. If the plant becomes incapacitated, it dies and the spell ends.

Triggered On your turn, you can use a triggered action to cast this spell, but the duration becomes 1 minute.

Sacrifice You can use an action and expend a casting of this spell to cast the ensnaring vines spell

Area Up to five cubes, 1 yard on a side, resting on the ground and originating from points within short range

Duration 1 minute; see the effect

One giant puffball appears inside each area and remains for the duration or until it is destroyed. A puffball is a Size 1 object with Defense 5 and Health 20.

Whenever a creature moves to within 3 yards of a puffball or a puffball is hit by a solid object, the puffball releases a cloud of spores in a 3-yard-radius centered on a point in its space. The cloud heavily obscures its area and remains for 1 round or until it is dispersed by wind. Each living and breathing creature in the area when the cloud appears or that enters it must get a success on a Strength challenge roll with 1 bane or take 2d6 damage and become poisoned for 1 minute. If a creature is already poisoned from this spell, it takes 2d6 extra damage instead.

Area A cube of space, 3 yards on a side, originating from a point within medium range and resting on a solid earthen or rocky surface

Duration 1 minute

The ground in the area trembles as 1d3 spriggans rise from it, shaking off dirt and rocks as they do. Each spriggan must make a Will challenge roll. You impose 2 banes on the roll if only 1 spriggan appears, or 1 bane if only 2 spriggans appear. On a failure, the spriggan becomes compelled for the duration.

Area A 10-yard-radius hemisphere centered on a point on the ground within medium range

Duration 8 hours

You infuse the area with magic, causing colors to become more vibrant, plants to bloom and double in size, and animals to become peaceful and friendly. In addition, air becomes comfortable and sweet-smelling, while flower petals fall from above to melt away into the grass.

While you are in the area, other creatures cannot perceive the interior from outside it. If you are conscious when a creature would move into the area, you can deny entry and cause that creature to teleport to the opposite side of the area.

Four times before the spell ends, you can choose to apply one of the following effects on any creature in the area: either the creature heals damage equal to its healing rate, or you remove the diseased or poisoned affliction from it.

Requirement The area must contain living plants rooted in the ground

Area A 10-yard-radius circle on the ground centered on a point within medium range

Duration 1 hour

You make leaves, stems, vines, and flowers thicken and grow, turning the area into difficult terrain that remains until it is cleared away. If the area already contained difficult terrain, any creature that tries to move across the area must get a success on a Strength challenge roll or become immobilized for 1 round.

The plants in the area exude toxins for the duration of the spell. At the end of each round, each living creature in the area must get a success on a Strength challenge roll with 1 bane or become poisoned for 2d6 hours. A creature already poisoned from this spell takes 3d6 damage and extends the duration of the poisoned affliction by 1d6 hours. A creature poisoned in this way is also slowed.

Target Up to five creatures within medium range

Whiplike vines leap up and deal 3d6 damage to each target. Each target must make an Agility challenge roll. On a failure, the target is moved 6 yards in a direction you choose and then becomes immobilized for 1 minute. The target can use an action to make a Strength challenge roll with 1 bane, removing the affliction on a success.

Target One tree you can reach

Duration 1 minute

You touch the target tree and imbue it with magical power. The tree uproots itself and becomes a compelled monster of its Size with the following additional traits:

Defense +3

Immune asleep, blinded, dazed, fatigued, frightened, stunned; the monster cannot be moved against its will or knocked prone while it stands on the ground

Fire Vulnerability The monster takes double damage from fire.

Area Up to twenty cubes of space, each 4 yards on a side, originating from points you choose within long range, and arranged so that they form a continuous barrier

Duration 1 hero

A thorny hedge fills the area, totally covering everything behind it for the duration. Each cube of hedge has Defense 5, Health 15, and takes double damage from fire. When a creature makes a melee attack against the hedge, the attacking creature must get a success on an Agility challenge roll or take 1d6 damage.

A creature can move into the hedge; when it does so, it must make a Strength challenge roll with 1 bane. On a success, the creature can continue moving, but treats the area as difficult terrain. Otherwise, the creature stops moving and cannot move again until after the end of the round.

When a creature enters a cube of hedge or climbs onto a hedge, the creature must make an Agility challenge roll. On a failure, the creature takes 3d6 damage if it is inside the hedge or 2d6 damage if climbing on its surface. A creature takes this damage only once per round for each cube it contacts.

When the spell ends, the hedge withers to leave behind a pile of dry leaves and twigs.

Duration 1 minute

You transform into a mighty animated tree. For the duration, you cannot cast spells but gain all the following benefits:

• You gain a +3 bonus to Defense and a +15 bonus to Health, and your Size doubles.
• You make Strength attack rolls and challenge rolls with 1 boon.
• Your branches count as a melee weapon that deals 3d6 damage.
• You can use a triggered action on your turn to expend the casting of a Nature spell. If you do, you extend this effect’s duration by a number of minutes equal to the spell’s rank.

Target The spirit of one dead creature residing in the Underworld or Hell

You name the spirit. If the spirit resides in the Underworld, you call it forth to appear in an open space within short range. If the spirit resides in Hell, you must make a Will challenge roll with a number of banes equal to the spirit’s Corruption score (if the score is unknown, the GM decides it). The spirit of a creature with a Corruption score of 6 or higher cannot be affected by this spell. On a success, the spirit appears in an open space within short range.

Once the spirit appears, you must concentrate for 8 hours, during which time you fashion a new body for the creature from mud, sticks, and other natural materials. When you finish, the body becomes that of a human, dwarf, halfling, or some other mortal creature that does not have the Powerful Ancestry trait. The spirit then enters that body, causing it to come to life. You make all decisions about the new body, including its appearance and apparent age. The body has average scores for its Strength and Agility and has the spirit’s Intellect and Will scores.

If the spirit is that of a late member of the group, it returns with all the benefits from its path choices and the group’s level. The character starts with the new ancestry’s attribute scores and then increases them as directed by his or her previously chosen paths. If the spirit belonged to someone else, it has the talents, spells, and other qualities that the individual had in life (at the GM’s discretion).

Once the spirit takes residence in the new body, the creature must get a success on a Will challenge roll with 3 banes or gain 1d6 Insanity.

Aftereffect You must make a Strength challenge roll with 2 banes. On a failure, you gain 1d6 Insanity and become fatigued until you complete a rest.

Sacrifice You can use an action and expend a casting of this spell to choose one creature you can reach. You touch the creature, and it heals all its damage and removes the diseased and poisoned afflictions from itself.
