By means of this spell a priest of Athas can enchant a living sapling to become a magical tree of life, a magical item of tremendous power. Any tree less than one year old will suffice; it cannot be cast on an older tree. The sapling must have already sprouted from the ground, though the priest can transplant such a sapling before casting the spell. The sapling grows to its full size in only one week, but has its full powers and capabilities immediately after the spell is cast.

The material component is a piece of copper wire formed in the shape of a tree.

Notes: Usable only on Athas (the Dark Sun setting), where it is common. The basic Dark Sun setting has full details of the tree of life in the magical item section.
