This spell causes a single plant to mature and ripen (to bloom, to produce ready fruit, or simply to yield seeds, as the caster desires) within the spell's duration. A plant of any size and nature can be affected, and it need not be a variety familiar to the caster. The bloom, seeds, or fruits grow toward the caster (so as to drop into his waiting hand) unless the priest wills them to present themselves to another. If the caster desires, the magic affects only part of a plant, leaving the rest to grow normally. Once the spell expires, the plant affected by it radiates no magic and is entirely normal.
This magic won't work on plants that are being magically controlled by another entity. In such cases, a ripen plant spell identifies the control over the plant to the caster and acts as an unbreakable hold plant spell of 1 turn in duration.
Notes: Granted by Chauntea, the Great Mother, of the Forgotten Realms setting. This spell is found only in a few exceptionally rare tomes.
