Druids are not just "tree magicians" or "wild magicians", a powerful druid has control over each of the five elements the material world offers: earth, metal, fire, water and, of course, nature. This connection to the environment isn’t passive either: druids must constantly journey across the world, uncovering the countless ways these elements manifest. Earth can be fertile or barren; metal is hard but malleable to many shapes; fire scares animals but some tribes worship it; water sustains life but has the power to flood entire cities; and nature is both nurturing and merciless.

A druid is always in harmony with the elements in their environment. When a druid spends more than an hour in an environment, they receive one of the following effects depending on where they are:

Each location corresponds to exactly one element, and an effect gained from this ability lasts until the environment changes significantly.

Category: Offense
Execution Time: 5 minutes
Cost: 4 energy
Radius: (20 + P) meters
Effect
This ability does not require any precision roll.
Create a small earthquake centered around you, making every non-flying and unsuspecting creature within radius fall prone. Small structures and similar constructs within radius, depending on their strength, become destroyed or damaged.

Category: Utility
Execution Time: 1 hour
Cost: 6 energy
Radius: (50 + 5 x P) meters
Duration: (7 + C) days
Effect
You spread your powers wide; improving, curing and growing nearby plants slightly. Plant creatures within radius gain regeneration for the duration.

Category: Utility
Execution Time: Full-turn action
Cost: 4 energy
Radius: (3 + P/2) meters
Duration: (2 + C/2) hours
Effect
You can vaguely guide the natural features of the geography around you to change shape. After half of this technique's duration has passed, the geography starts slowly returning to its original shape. While performing this technique, you can choose to spend double the energy cost instead. In this case, the technique requires 1 hour of uninterrupted casting but its effects stay permanent.

Category: Offense
Against: Warding
Execution Time: Action
Cost: 2 energy
Range: 5 meters
Duration: (1 + C/2) hits
Effect
(Projectile)
A powerful arc of lightning leaves your hand and strikes your target, dealing 5 magical damage and applying electrified for the duration.
If you fail the precision roll, the lightning hits the conductive object or soaked creature nearest you within your range and line of sight including yourself. In this case, it only applies 1 hit of electrified and deals no damage.

Category: Defense
Against: Parry
Execution Time: Rapid action
Cost: 2 energy
Duration: (1 + C/2) rounds
Effect
Skin of a creature you can touch becomes enhanced with the metal element, granting it (5 + P/2) temporary physical armor. Alternatively, you can spend 4 energy and grant double the temporary armor.
This creature is unable to move while this technique is active.
When this temporary armor breaks, it rusts away and the technique ends. It can be dismissed by you freely.

Category: Utility
Execution Time: Full-turn action
Cost: 4 energy
Radius: 5 meters
Duration: (2 + C/2) rounds
Effect
You generate a large and stationary rain cloud above you, and it starts to rain immediately. Any creature who starts or ends their turn in the area below this cloud is soaked for one round unless it has cover from rain.
Alternatively, you can choose to perform a wider and longer version of this technique. This requires 1 hour of uninterrupted casting. In this case, this rain cloud lasts for (2 + C/2) hours and affects a 50 meter radius area, which is considered a water environment for your element-enveloped ability.
This technique can only be used outside or interiors with sufficient space.
