Those grove users who are truly devoted to Nature are also able to resurrect the souls of others, so long as they too are adherents to Nature's worship and protection. Those who are citizens of Eleusis, or cityless members of Oakstone and the Druids, Sylvans, and Sentinels houses fall into this category.

Planting a quarterstaff in such a location will move your grove there, though only temporarily. With time, your grove will return to its home. If you wish to prematurely move your grove back to its original location, simply GROVE UNIFY.

It should be noted that a few abilities will not work in a temporary grove.

These are:

Channel Sever Guardian Sharing
