Note: Dryad only spell.

By touching a chosen plant, a dryad can shape its growth pattern into several forms. The dryad can straighten a plant so that it grows tall and true, have it grow low to the ground so as to trip a foe, or make any thorns it possesses sharper and more painful (increasing its normal damage by +2 hp). When used before casting the spell fast growth, the dryad can make any wooded area defensible. This spell lasts until the plant is destroyed or until someone casts a successful dispel magic on it.
