Groves

Revision as of 19:20, 30 September 2018 by Thaisen (talk | contribs) (Updated all skills and transferred to new template, still need lesson breakdown)

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 bond between practitioner and Grove can be enhanced with the artefact known as the Lupine Plinth, as well as the even more unique solar plinth, sold at auction in 486 AF.

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.

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. Lightning is a mercurial force, and may occasionally leave your target plagued with ailments, or fizzle out harmlessly.

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.

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.
