'''Groves''' is a skill available to those of the [[Druid]] and [[Sylvan]] [[class|classes]]. It allows practitioners to create a physical bond with the [[:category:forests|forest]] and, through that bond, exercise a variety of unique forestal [[:Category:Abilities|abilities]]. This bond can be enhanced with the [[:Category:artefacts|artefact]] known as the [[Lupine Plinth]], as well as the even more unique [[solar plinth]], sold at auction in 486 AF.
Groves is the skill of interacting with the great [[:category:forests|forests]] of Achaea. It will allow practitioners to establish a private Grove from which they will base their power. Groves absorb and accumulate sunlight, which practitioners use to power the abilities. Every night, a Grove will lose some of the sunlight, as the Grove must maintain itself even when everything else is sleeping soundly. Further, most abilities in Groves will use up some of this sunlight energy.

This, the most powerful of all grove abilities, allows you to temporarily move your grove to any forest or jungle location where there is not already a grove or temporary grove. 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
: Hive        Forestbinding

Groves is the skill of interacting with the great forests of Achaea. It will allow practitioners to establish a private Grove from which they will base their power. Groves absorb and accumulate sunlight, which practitioners use to power the abilities. Every night, a Grove will lose some of the sunlight, as the Grove must maintain itself even when everything else is sleeping soundly. Further, most abilities in Groves will use up some of this sunlight energy.

The skill of Groves is available to the Druid and Sylvan classes.

Druids also have the skills of Metamorphosis and Reclamation, while Sylvans also have the skills of Propagation and Weatherweaving.

Abilities in Groves

Harmony is only available to those druids in appropriate forestal organisations.

Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
Details: This very costly ability will grant life to the corpse of any adventurer you specify, provided the corpse is in your grove. The second form is used for yourself.

The forest will resist attempts to resurrect its enemies. If you wish to proceed with the resurrection, you will be required to FORCE the attempt at a much higher personal cost. Note that forcing your grove to resurrect an individual will ALWAYS have a higher cost.

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 members of the Scions of the Ithmia and Heartwood Kin Houses fall into this category.

Details: So strong is your bond with your grove that you are able to reach down into the roots of the earth and call forth one of the fabled earth golem Guardians to stand guard over your grove.

Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
Details: The Blighted Isle upon which the city of Mhaldor stands is an affront to Nature and her ilk. While standing upon the tainted land you may perform this act of cleansing, calling forth growth to drive back the corruption. The servants of Evil shall find that their mastery of necromantic essence grows weaker, the more of their domain becomes cleansed.

Take note: prolonged use of vivification will take a heavy toll on your sunlight reserves. You will find each subsequent cleansing incurs a higher cost than the last.

Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
Details: This, the most powerful of all grove abilities, allows you to temporarily move your grove to any forest or jungle location where there is not already a grove or temporary grove. 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.
