Also Called[]
- Druidic Commands
- Druidic Witchcraft/Wizardry
Capabilities[]
The user can utilize druidic magic, magical arts based mainly on nature and around faith celt, but the capabilities may vary highly based on setting, although in principle it's a very broad spectrum, which is used by the Druids, who are priest, sages, magicians, seers, oracles, teachers, scientists, alchemists, occultists, judges, philosophers, royal advisers, shamans, astrologers, beast masters and bards (in this case those who memorize the Druidic and Celtic legacy: clan history, natural cycles, laws and other important information, although in some verses it could be said that they could be mystical bards), belonging to a high-ranking class of ancient Celtic cultures that were said to have a great influence with the nature, they had an immense control with magic, a great wise wisdom and a strong connection with the gods.
In some settings, Druids harness the vast powers of nature to preserve balance and protect life. With experience, druids can unleash nature’s raw energy against their enemies, raining celestial fury on them from a great distance, binding them with enchanted vines, or ensnaring them in unrelenting cyclones.
Druids can also direct this power to heal wounds and restore life to fallen allies. They are deeply in tune with the animal world. As master shapeshifters, druids can take on the forms of a variety of beasts, morphing into a bear, cat, storm crow, or sea lion with ease.
Druidism is concerned with all agriculture, flora, and the flows and seasons of fertility in the countryside and in all living creatures -- including Humans and other intelligent mortals.
Druids have power over nature and can cast spells that can cause twisting briars to spring from the earth, entire forests to appear, or bring mighty winds to blow away their enemies. At their command Druids can summon rain from a cloudless sky or cause the rocks of the earth to hurtle through the air. Druids love living things, for their studies teach them about the harmony of nature. They are often skilled practitioners of healing and restorative magic.
Note: This power / magic is based on the popular culture view of Druids, so historical accuracy is not the top priority. Although the esoteric practices of the Celts will also be taken (Example: Alchemy, specifically Celtic alchemy) and data that were obtained from the Druids by writing (Example: Divination, the Druids being great seers)
