Wood
command plants, wood, and living growth
A Fundamental — a Field of Magical Knowledge whose applications reach 20m and last 10min; the usual props are a green branch, a small piece of fresh mistletoe,. Learn it Basic (1 yr) for the easy end, Advanced (3 yr) for the deep.
Its 7 applications, by intensity:
| Application | Int | § |
|---|---|---|
| Create Wood | 1 | §25B1 |
| Expand Wood | 1 | §25B2 |
| Contract Wood | 1 | §25B3 |
| Create Great Wood | 2 | §25A4 |
| Mature Plant | 2 | §25A5 |
| Animate Plant | 2 | §25A6 |
| Carve Wood | 2 | §25A7 |
Create Wood
- Intensity
- 1
- Code
- §25B1
- Source
- wood
Create a piece of wood (equivalent to any naturally occurring kind) ≤0.5m×0.5m×4m.
Expand Wood
- Intensity
- 1
- Code
- §25B2
- Source
- wood
Expand a wooden object ≤2m×2m×2m by increasing its linear dimensions by up to 100%. The object's mass remains constant, so that normal wood would become as light as balsa, while its strength is unchanged.
Contract Wood
- Intensity
- 1
- Code
- §25B3
- Source
- wood
Contract a wooden object ≤2m×2m×2m by reducing its linear dimensions by up to 50%. The object's mass remains constant, while its strength and density increase markedly.
- If armour is made out of such wood, it will be as metal armour of the equivalent type, but with protection values one worse in each category.
- A weapon normally made of metal may be made of this material, but will have its DCs reduced by one.
- A weapon normally made of wood may be made of this material, in which case its DCs are improved by one, while its mass is increased by 50%.
Create Great Wood
- Intensity
- 2
- Code
- §25A4
- Source
- wood
Create a piece of wood (equivalent to any naturally occurring kind) ≤1m×1m×20m.
Mature Plant
- Intensity
- 2
- Code
- §25A5
- Source
- wood
Rapidly mature a plant (so that it undergoes the equivalent of five years of growth during ten minutes).
Animate Plant
- Intensity
- 2
- Code
- §25A6
- Source
- wood
Animate a plant no larger than 2m×2m×2m. It will have the fighting abilities and mobility of a zombie, with DT = height in m, and DC = height in m + 1.
Carve Wood
- Intensity
- 2
- Code
- §25A7
- Source
- wood
The invoker may instantly transform a piece of wood into anything into which it could be made by skilled carpenters given time. (Range: touch.)
