• Swinging Webs. You can expend 1 additional mana so the webs can attach themselves to your torso, leaving your arms and legs unhindered. The webs automatically attach to solid surfaces (such as a building, a wall, or a tree) at least 3 meters above you and within 10 meters of you and shift with you, growing and retracting as you move from surface to surface.

Appearing in an unoccupied space within 5 meters, the companion has the statistics of the chosen form, though its health is increased by 5. Your companion can understand your speech and you gain the ability to decipher its noises and motions.

Your companion acts independently of you, but it always obeys your commands. In combat, it rolls its own initiative and acts on its own turn. If you don’t issue any commands to your companion, it defends itself from hostile creatures but otherwise takes no actions. A companion can’t attack, but it can take other actions as normal.

While your companion is within 20 meters of you:

• Your companion has resistance to all damage. Each time it takes damage, you take the same amount of damage.
• When you cast a spell with a range of touch, your companion can deliver the spell as if it had cast the spell. Your companion must use its reaction to deliver the spell when you cast it. If the spell is an attack, you use your own skill check for the roll.

As an action, you can temporarily dismiss your companion if it is within 5 meters of you. It disappears into a pocket dimension where it awaits your summons. As an action while it is temporarily dismissed, you can cause it to reappear in any unoccupied space within 5 meters of you that you can see.

As part of your move, as long as you aren’t encumbered by weight, you can fly into the air with a flying speed equal to your walking speed for the duration.

As two actions, plants come to life at your command. Choose three nonmagical plants within 20 meters. Medium targets count as two plants, Large targets count as three plants, and Huge targets count as five plants. You can’t animate any plant larger than Huge. Each target animates and becomes a creature under your control until the spell ends or until reduced to 0 health.

Any creature you animated with this spell acts after your turn. You can mentally command the creature if it is within 20 meters of you (if you control multiple creatures, you can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same command to each one). The creature(s) will generally follow any specific verbal commands that you issue to them if the likely outcome is in accordance with its desires (no action required by you). For example you may command it to guard a particular chamber or corridor, explore the room ahead, or to attack a specific creature. If you don't issue any commands, they defend themselves from hostile creatures, but otherwise take no actions.

Animated Plants Statistics

An animated plant is a construct with Defense, Health, Strength, and Dexterity determined by its size. When it attacks, make a melee spell attack in place of its attack. Its Constitution is 0, its Intelligence and Wisdom are −4, and its Charisma is −5. Its speed is 5 meters; the plant can use half of its movement to detach its roots from the ground or root itself in the ground. It has blindsight with a radius of 5 meters and is blind beyond that distance. When the animated plant drops to 0 health, it reverts to its original plant form, and any remaining damage carries over to its original plant form.

If you command a plant to attack, it can make a single melee attack against a creature within 1 meter of it. It makes a slam attack with an attack bonus and bludgeoning damage determined by its size. The GM might rule that a specific plant inflicts slashing or piercing damage based on its form.

Your GM chooses statistics appropriate for the awakened plant, such as the statistics for the awakened shrub or the awakened tree.

The plant is friendly to you and your companions and remains awakened until it drops to 0 health or when the spell ends.

When it attacks, make a melee spell attack in place of its attack, but retain the damage and other effects.

You can exclude one or more areas of any size within the spell’s area from being affected.

Alternatively, you can cast this spell over 8 hours to enrich the land. All plants in 1 kilometer radius centered on a point within 20 meters become enriched for 1 year. The plants yield twice the normal amount of food when harvested.

As two actions, you transform a creature that you can touch or see within 10 meters. The creature must succeed on a Will saving throw or be transformed into a harmless animal appropriate to the area for the duration. A shapechanger automatically succeeds on this saving throw.

The new form can be any animal whose challenge rating is 0. The target’s game statistics, including mental abilities, are replaced by the statistics of the chosen animal. It retains its personality.

The target assumes the health of its new form. When it reverts to its normal form, the creature returns to the amount of health it had before it transformed. If it reverts as a result of dropping to 0 health, any excess damage carries over to its normal form. As long as the excess damage doesn’t reduce the creature’s normal form to 0 health, it isn’t knocked unconscious.

The target is limited in the actions it can perform by the nature of its new form. It can’t speak, cast spells, or do anything else that requires hands or speech.

The target’s gear melds into the new form. The target can’t activate, use, wield, or otherwise benefit from any of its equipment.

A creature can repeat the saving throw once a minute, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Augment

• You can target one additional creature for each additional mana expended. The creatures must be within 5 meters of each other when you target them. You can choose the same form or different ones for each target.

• Permanent Polymorph. You can expend 3 additional mana and concentrate on this spell for 1 hour so the transformation becomes permanent.

As two actions, you imbue plants within 5 meters of you with limited sentience and animation, giving them the ability to communicate with you and follow your simple commands. You can question plants about events in the spell’s area within the past day, gaining information about creatures that have passed, weather, and other circumstances.

You can also turn difficult terrain caused by plant growth (such as thickets and undergrowth) into ordinary terrain that lasts for the duration. Or you can turn ordinary terrain where plants are present into difficult terrain that lasts for the duration, causing vines and branches to hinder pursuers, for example.

Plants might be able to perform other tasks on your behalf, at the GM’s discretion. The spell doesn’t enable plants to uproot themselves and move about, but they can freely move branches, tendrils, and stalks.

If a plant creature is in the area, you can communicate with it as if you shared a common language, but you gain no magical ability to influence it.

This spell can cause the plants created by the ensnare or entangle spells to release a restrained creature.

As two actions, the ground in a sphere centered on a point within 20 meters twists and sprouts hard spikes and thorns. The area becomes difficult terrain for the duration. When a creature moves into or within the area, it takes 2d4 piercing damage for every meter it travels.

The transformation of the ground is camouflaged to look natural. Any creature that can’t see the area at the time the spell is cast must make a Perception check against your spell save Difficulty to recognize the terrain as hazardous before entering it.

At the start of each of your turns if the spikes are within 20 meters of you, you can cause them to move up to 2 meters in a direction that you choose. If you spend an action, you can move them up to 10 meters.

Augment

You can increase the damage by 1d4 for every two additional mana expended.

As two actions, you call forth spirits to protect you. They flit around you in an aura shaped as a sphere. The guardian spirits provide supernatural protection. As a reaction, which you use when a creature that you can touch or see within 5 meters of you takes damage, you can reduce that damage by double the mana expended to cast this spell and the attacker takes psychic damage equal to double the mana expended to cast this spell. An enemy creature that enters the spell’s area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there must make a Will saving throw.

On a failure, it takes 1d8 psychic damage, moves at half speed, and has disadvantage on skill checks while in the area.

On a critical failure, it takes twice as much damage.

On a success, it takes half as much damage.

On a critical success, it takes no damage.

Augment

You can increase the damage by 1d8 for every two additional mana expended.

As two actions, you transform into an awakened tree companion form, using 2 resources.

You automatically revert if the spell ends, if you fall unconscious, if you drop to 0 health, or if you die. You can revert to your normal form earlier on your turn (no action required). You can expend additional mana to extend the duration of the spell.

While you are transformed, the following rules apply:

• Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the companion form, though you retain your personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw aptitudes, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same capability as you and the bonus in its stat block is higher than yours, use the creature’s bonus instead of yours.
• You retain your health and Health Dice. You gain temporary health equal to the companion form’s Constitution multiplied by double the amount of resources used.
• Your ability to speak or use any action that requires hands is limited to the aptitudes of your tree form.
• You retain the benefit of any feats and features from your class, species, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so with the following limitations
  • You can’t use any of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your new form also has that sense.
  • You can’t cast spells. Transforming doesn’t break your concentration on a spell you’ve already cast, however, or prevent you from using actions that are part of a spell, such as call lightning, that you’ve already cast.
  • You retain your catalysts, catalyst limit, mana, mana limit, ki, stamina dice, and dice limit, but do not gain your new form’s mana or stamina dice.
  • You can use any maneuver you know or a maneuver known by your new form.
• You can use an action to expend mana so your form gains 2 stamina dice per mana expended, up to your mana limit.
• You can use an action to expend mana to regain 2d8 health per mana expended, up to your mana limit.
• You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the GM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the creature’s shape. Your equipment doesn’t change shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can’t wear must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.

Augment

• You can use an additional resource for each additional mana expended. If you expend 4 or more mana and the spell lasts for the duration, the transformation lasts until it is dispelled.

• You can expend 1 additional mana to target a willing creature you touch while you concentrate on the spell.

As two actions, you gain the ability to enter a tree and move from inside it to inside another tree of the same kind within 100 meters. Both trees must be living and at least the same size as you. You must use 1 meter of movement to enter a tree. You instantly know the location of all other trees of the same kind within 100 meters and, as part of the move used to enter the tree, can either pass into one of those trees or step out of the tree you’re in. You appear in a spot of your choice within 1 meter of the destination tree, using another 1 meter of movement. If you have no movement left, you appear within 1 meter of the tree you entered.

You can use this transportation ability once per round for the duration. You must end each turn outside a tree.

Augment

• You can increase the distance by 100 meters for each additional mana expended.

• Transport via Plants. You can expend 1 additional mana to create a magical link between a Large or larger inanimate plant within 5 meters and another plant, at any distance, on the same plane of existence. You must have seen or touched the destination plant at least once before. For 1 round, any creature can step into the target plant and exit from the destination plant by using 1 meter of movement. After 1 round the spell ends.

As two actions, you create a wall of tough, pliable, tangled brush bristling with needle-sharp thorns at a point within 20 meters that lasts for the duration. The wall can’t occupy the same space as a creature or object and doesn’t need to be vertical, though it needs a firm foundation.

If a creature would be surrounded on all sides by the wall (or the wall and another solid surface), that creature can make a Reflex saving throw.

On a success, it can use its reaction to move up to its speed so that it is no longer enclosed by the wall.

The wall is an object made of plants that blocks line of sight. A creature can move through the wall, albeit slowly and painfully. A creature must spend 3 meters of movement for every meter it moves through the wall. The wall can be damaged and thus breached. Each panel has 10 Defense, 1 Soak, and 1 Health per centimeter of thickness. Reducing a panel to 0 health destroys it and might cause connected panels to collapse at the GM’s discretion.

You can choose to cast this spell without thorns to bridge a chasm or create a ramp. If you create a span greater than 4 meters in length, you must halve the size of each panel to create supports. You can crudely shape the wall with or without thorns to create crenellations, battlements, and so on.

A creature that enters the wall’s area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there must make a Reflex saving throw.

On a failure, it takes 3d8 piercing damage.

On a critical failure, it takes twice as much damage.

On a success, it takes half as much damage.

On a critical success, it takes no damage.

If you maintain your concentration on this spell for its whole duration, the wall becomes permanent and can’t be dispelled. Otherwise, the wall disappears when the spell ends.

Augment

You can increase the damage by 1d8 for each additional mana expended.

As two actions, you conjure a mass of thick, sticky webbing at a point of your choice within 10 meters. The webs fill a sphere from that point for the duration. The webs are difficult terrain and lightly obscure their area.

If the webs aren’t anchored between two solid masses (such as walls or trees) or layered across a floor, wall, or ceiling, the conjured web collapses on itself, and the spell ends at the start of your next turn. Webs layered over a flat surface have a depth of 1 meter.

A creature that enters the spell’s area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there must make a Reflex saving throw.

On a failure, it is restrained as long as it remains in the webs or until it breaks free.

A creature restrained by the webs, or one that can touch the creature, can use an action to make a Brawn or Nimbleness check (its choice) against your spell save Difficulty. If it succeeds, it is no longer restrained.

The webs are flammable. Any 1-meter cube of webs exposed to fire burns away in 1 round, dealing 2d4 fire damage to any creature that starts its turn in the fire.

As two actions, you transform into an animal companion form that you know, using 2 resources. You can learn a form that you have seen before and that you have detailed knowledge of and you can learn a number of forms equal to your Aptitude Bonus.

You automatically revert if the spell ends, if you fall unconscious, if you drop to 0 health, or if you die. You can revert to your normal form earlier on your turn (no action required). You can expend additional mana to extend the duration of the spell.

While you are transformed, the following rules apply:

• Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the chosen companion form, though you retain your personality, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw aptitudes, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same capability as you and the bonus in its stat block is higher than yours, use the creature’s bonus instead of yours.
• You retain your health and Health Dice. You gain temporary health equal to the companion form’s Constitution multiplied by double the amount of resources used. When the spell ends, any remaining temporary health vanishes.
• Your ability to speak or use any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your animal form.
• You retain the benefit of any feats and features from your class, species, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so with the following limitations
  • You can’t use any of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your new form also has that sense.
  • You can’t cast spells. Transforming doesn’t break your concentration on a spell you’ve already cast, however, or prevent you from using actions that are part of a spell, such as call lightning, that you’ve already cast.
  • You retain your catalysts, catalyst limit, mana, mana limit, ki, stamina dice, and dice limit, but do not gain your new form’s mana or stamina dice.
  • You can use any maneuver you know or a maneuver known by your new form.
• You can use an action to expend mana so your form gains 2 stamina dice per mana expended, up to your mana limit.
• You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the GM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the creature’s shape. Your equipment doesn’t change shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can’t wear must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.

Augment

• You can use an additional resource for each additional mana expended. If you expend 5 or more mana and the spell lasts for the duration, the transformation lasts until it is dispelled.

• You can expend 1 additional mana to target a willing creature you touch while you concentrate on the spell.

As two actions, you call out to the spirits of nature to rouse them against your enemies. Choose a point you can see within 20 meters. The spirits cause trees, rocks, and grasses in a sphere that is twice as big as normal centered on that point to become animated until the spell ends.

Grasses and Undergrowth. Any area of ground in the sphere that is covered by grass or undergrowth is difficult terrain for your enemies.

Trees. At the start of each of your turns, each of your enemies within 2 meters of any tree in the sphere must succeed on a Reflex saving throw or take 2d8 slashing damage from whipping branches.

Roots and Vines. At the start of each of your turns, a creature of your choice that is on the ground in the sphere must succeed on a Reflex saving throw or become restrained until the spell ends. A restrained creature can use an action to make a Brawn check against your spell save Difficulty, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Rocks. As an action, you can cause a loose rock in the sphere to launch at a creature you can see in the sphere. Make a ranged spell attack against the target.

On a hit, the target takes 3d8 bludgeoning damage, and it must succeed on a Reflex saving throw or fall prone.

On a miss by 4 or less, the target takes half as much damage.

Augment

You can increase the damage from rocks by 2d8 for each additional mana expended and the damage from trees by 1d8 and the damage for every two additional mana expended.

As two actions, grasping weeds and vines sprout from the ground in a sphere centered on a point within 20 meters. For the duration, these plants turn the ground in the area into difficult terrain.

A creature that enters the spell’s area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there must make a Reflex saving throw. A creature that starts its turn in the area and is already restrained by the vines takes 2d6 slashing damage.

On a failure, it takes 1d6 slashing damage and is restrained for the duration.

On a critical failure, it takes twice as much damage.

On a success, it takes half as much damage.

On a critical success, it takes no damage.

At the start of each of your turns if the vines are within 20 meters of you, you can cause them to move up to 2 meters in a direction that you choose. If you spend an action, you can move them up to 10 meters.

A creature restrained by the vines, or one that can touch the creature, can use an action to make a Brawn or Nimbleness check (its choice) against your spell save Difficulty.

On a success, the target is freed.

When the spell ends, the conjured plants wilt away.

Augment

You can increase the damage by 1d6 for each additional mana expended.
