Plant Wizard: School of Esoteric Botanica

Wizard: School of Esoteric Botanica

The power of plants is not something to be ignored by scholars. You are a student of the magic science beneath plants, aiming to understand how they work. Unlike a druid, who acts as a spiritual conduit between man and nature, you are an academic purely fascinated by the mechanisms of all that is horticultural. Whether you study in the Magaambya, the Citadel of the Alchemist or even further afield, plant magic is yours to study and grow.

When a creature Interacts to consume a fruit, it restores Hit Points equal to twice the spells level and attempts to counteract one of the following conditions if it was caused by a spell or harmful effect: enfeebled, fatigued, or frightened. Once a creature has consumed a fruit, it becomes temporarily immune to this effect for 10 minutes.
