Elven Nature Magic

Fri 22 Jul 2022, 18:03

Hi everyone! I have a question related to the great propouse of the elfs.

They have to help neture to growth, but there is no magic discipline that allow you to do so... How elven druids or wizards can grow grass or trees with magic?

I assume they accomplish it, by mysterious rituals only elder elves know about, maybe they can impose their collective will to force nature to enter in a faster grow rate from time to time. perhaps when the elven seasonal festivals take place, they are in fact, offering "mana" to the elder elves from Stillmist, so they can gather enough power to influence the vastness of forbidden lands.
To be fair, this rate may even be indiscernible for short living races, like humans, goblins, and wofkins.

I believe the authors themselves, don't have a clear and definitive answer for this question. So Its up to you to solve this as a GM!

I can understand that vision, but I don't see why there isn't a magical discipline related to that.

The elves are actually immortal sapient rocks walking around in flesh golems. They did it the long way. When they dug the first rivers they got out there and dug. When they planted the first seeds they moved dirt and put seeds in it. They have all the time in the world and are in no rush. They don't need magic to do any of it so why would they use magic to do any of it?

Giving them magic to do it cheapens them and makes them less bizarre and alien. An elf could manually have planted every old growth tree in a forest and tended to them every step of the way from an empty plot of land to a stretch of miles of deep dark forest wood land. Not with magic he did in a week. But with centuries to millennia of physical care and attention.

If you do really want druidic nature magic, and do not mind homebrew material, you might be inspired by that path in Reforged Power (googlable), no need to pay. It was in turn partially inspired by ”path of the tree” by Klas Bas (https://forum.frialigan.se/viewtopic.php?f=80&t=4440)
