Air Walk
Spell Level: Druid, 4th Level
Range: Touch
Duration: 10 minutes per level

The subject of this spell can tread on air as if walking on solid ground. Moving upward is similar to walking up a hill. The maximum upward or downward angle possible is 45 degrees, at a rate equal to one-half the air walker’s normal movement. A strong wind can push the subject along or hold it back. Should the spell duration expire while the subject is still aloft, the magic fails slowly. The subject floats downward 60 feet per round for 1d6 rounds. If it reaches the ground in that amount of time, it lands safely. If not, it falls the rest of the distance, taking falling damage as normal.

Animal Growth
Spell Level: Druid, 5th Level
Range: 200 feet
Duration: 1 minute per level

A number of animals grow to twice their normal size and eight times their normal weight. This alteration essentially doubles each animal’s Hit Dice and improved its Armor Class by 1. The animal deals +1 damage with its attacks. Its movement remains the same. The enlarged animal can only be harmed by silver or magical weapons and attacks.

Animal Summoning IV
Spell Level: Druid, 4th Level
Range: 60 ft
Duration: 1 round per level

This spell functions like animal summoning I, except that you can summon one 4th-level creature, 1d3 3rd-level creatures of the same kind, or 1d4+1 lower-level creatures of the same kind.

Baleful Polymorph
Spell Level: Druid, 5th Level
Range: 50 feet
Duration: Permanent

This spell works like the magic-user spell polymorph, except that the druid changes the subject into a small animal of no more than 1 HD. The new form cannot prove fatal to the creature (i.e. turning someone into a fish in the desert). The subject of the spell gets a saving throw to negate the effect. If the spell succeeds, the subject must make a second saving throw. If this second save fails, the creature loses any spell casting or magical abilities it had and gains the special abilities and Intelligence of its new form in place of its own. Incorporeal or gaseous creatures are immune to being polymorphed, and a shapechanger can revert to its natural form on its next turn.

Blight
Spell Level: Druid, 4th Level
Range: Touch
Duration: Instantaneous

This spell withers a single plant of any size. An affected plant monster takes 1d6 points of damage per druid level and may attempt a saving throw for half damage. A plant that isn’t a creature doesn’t receive a save and immediately withers and dies. This spell has no effect on the soil or surrounding plant life.

Commune with Nature
Spell Level: Druid, 5th Level
Range: Personal
Duration: Instantaneous

You become one with nature, attaining knowledge of the surrounding territory. You instantly gain knowledge of as many as three facts from among the following subjects: the ground or terrain, plants, minerals, bodies of water, people, general animal population, presence of woodland creatures, presence of powerful unnatural creatures, or even the general state of the natural setting.

In outdoor settings, the spell operates in a radius of 1 mile per caster level. In natural underground settings the radius is limited to 100 feet per caster level. The spell does not function where nature has been replaced by construction or settlement, such as in dungeons and towns.

Control Water
Spell Level: Druid, 4th Level
Range: 800 feet
Duration: 10 minutes per level

Depending on the version you choose, the control water spell raises or lowers water.

Lower Water: This causes water or similar liquid to reduce its depth by as much as 2 feet per caster level to a minimum depth of 1 inch. The water is lowered within a squarish depression whose sides are up to caster level x 10 feet long. In extremely large and deep bodies of water, such as a deep ocean, the spell creates a whirlpool that sweeps ships and similar craft downward, putting them at risk and rendering them unable to leave by normal movement for the duration of the spell. When cast on water elementals and other water-based creatures, this spell acts as a slow spell. The spell has no effect on other creatures.

Raise Water: This causes water or similar liquid to rise in height, just as the lower water version causes it to lower. Boats raised in this way slide down the sides of the hump that the spell creates. If the area affected by the spell includes riverbanks, a beach, or other land nearby, the water can spill over onto dry land.

With either version, you may reduce one horizontal dimension by half and double the other horizontal dimension.

Ice Storm
Spell Level: Druid, 4th Level
Range: 800 feet
Duration: 1 round

Great magical hailstones pound down for 1 round, dealing 3d6 points of damage plus 2d6 points of freezing damage to every creature in the area. All land movement within its area is at half speed. At the end of the duration, the hail disappears, leaving no aftereffects other than the damage dealt.

Scrying
Spell Level: Druid, 4th Level
Range: See text
Duration: 1 minute per level

Using a natural pool of water, you can see and hear some creature, which may be at any distance. If the subject succeeds on a saving throw, the scrying attempt simply fails. The difficulty of the save depends on how well you know the subject and what sort of physical connection (if any) you have to that creature. Furthermore, if the subject is on another plane, it gets a +3 bonus on its saving throw.

Knowledge or Connection
None: +5
Secondhand (you have heard of the subject): +3
Firsthand (you have met the subject): +0
Familiar (you know the subject well): –3
Own a likeness or picture: –1
Own a possession or garment: –2
Own a body part, lock of hair, bit of nail, etc.: –5

If the save fails, you can see and hear the subject and the subject’s immediate surroundings. If the subject moves, the sensor follows. The sensor has your full visual acuity, including any magical effects.

If the save succeeds, you can’t attempt to scry on that subject again for at least 24 hours.

Stoneskin
Spell Level: Druid, 5th Level
Range: Touch
Duration: 10 minutes per level

The warded creature gains resistance to blows, cuts, stabs, and slashes. The subject take only one quarter damage from non-magical weapons, and full damage from magical weapons. Once the spell has prevented a total of 5 points of damage per caster level it is discharged.

Transmute Rock to Mud
Spell Level: Druid, 5th Level
Range: 200 ft.
Duration: Permanent (see text)

This spell turns natural, uncut rock of any sort into an equal volume of mud. Magical stone is not affected by the spell. The depth of the mud created cannot exceed 10 feet. A creature stuck in the mud has its movement reduced to 3 and suffers a -2 penalty to hit and to its Armor Class. If cast upon the ceiling of a cavern or tunnel, the ensuing cave-in deals 8d6 points of damage to anyone caught directly beneath the area, or half damage to those who succeed on a saving throw. The mud remains until a successful dispel magic or transmute mud to rock spell restores its substance, but not necessarily its form. Evaporation turns the mud to normal dirt over a period of days.

The reverse of this spell turns mud or quicksand into sandstone. Creatures in the mud are allowed a saving throw to escape before the area is hardened to stone.

Wall of Thorns
Spell Level: Druid, 5th Level
Range: 200 ft.
Duration: 10 minutes per level

This spell creates a barrier of tangled, needle-sharp thorn bushes. The wall covers a number of 10x10x5 foot blocks equal to twice the druid’s level. Any creature moving through a wall of thorns takes damage each round equal to 25 minus the creature’s AC. Forcing one’s way through the thorns requires an open doors check to move 5 feet. One can chop through a foot of the thorns with 10 minutes work. Normal fire has no effect on the thorns, but magic fire burns it away in 10 minutes.
