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. | |||
The skill of '''Groves''' is available to the [[Druid]] and [[Sylvan]] [[class|classes]]. | |||
Druids also have the skills of [[Metamorphosis]] and [[Reclamation]], while Sylvans also have the skills of [[Propagation]] and [[Weatherweaving]]. | |||

Latest revision as of 02:07, 27 March 2019
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.

Required: | 350 sunlight and 150 mana | |
Works against: | Adventurers and self | |
Cooldown: | 6.00 seconds of equilibrium | |

Required: | 350 sunlight | |
Works against: | Adventurers and self | |
Cooldown: | 10.00 seconds of equilibrium | |
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. |

Syntax: | GROVE GUARDIAN | |
Required: | 1000 sunlight | |
Works against: | Room | |
Cooldown: | 4.00 seconds of equilibrium | |

It will protect your grove, attacking anyone on your enemies list who comes in, and will stay until dead. Note, however, that there is a very high grove energy cost. |

Required: | 150 mana and 10 sunlight | |
Works against: | Adventurers | |
Cooldown: | 3.50 seconds of equilibrium | |
Details: | Harnessing the wrath of the sky, you may direct a powerful bolt of lightning to strike a foe. Your target must be a sufficient distance away from you, and within your line of sight.

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. |
