Eldergrowth Sporemaster (Mycelian Ancestry Trait)
Deep within the hidden groves and shadowed caverns, the Mycelian druids whisper secrets older than the forest itself. Among them, few possess the rare gift of the Eldergrowth Sporemaster, a rite that allows the cycle of life and decay to bloom anew.
By channeling the essence of the manacelium network, the Sporemaster can infuse wounded bodies or fallen creatures with the sacred spores of Eldergrowth. In time, these dormant seeds awaken, knitting sinew and bone into something entirely new: a Mycelian reborn from death’s embrace. On rare occasions, their mastery spreads farther, bringing life to more than one husk at once, weaving the dead into the living tapestry of the mycelial network.
Mycelian Druidcraft (Mycelian Ancestry Trait)
To walk the path of the Mycelian is to speak the language of rot and renewal. With a whisper to the soil, a flick of fingers, and the scent of damp earth in the air, the druid can summon subtle wonders of the fungal realm.
A faint, musky odor of decay or the rustling of unseen creatures stirs in the air, masking movement or unsettling foes. Fallen leaves and corpses crumble into rich loam in mere heartbeats, their essence feeding the forest floor. And wherever dead matter lingers, the druid’s touch calls forth a surge of fungal bloom, threads of life weaving through rot, promising growth where only decay once lay.
