Tradition: Animism

Rank: Novice

Castings: 1

Duration: Special (see effect)

You call out words of friendship to the spirit of the target tree and request one of the following favors:

* Battle Ally: The tree becomes your ally in combat. When you cast the spell and again at the start of each of your turns for 1 minute, the tree swipes at one creature or object of your choice within 3 yards of it. The creature makes an Agility roll; on a failure, it takes 2d6 damage.

* Tree Refuge: The tree opens a hole in its body and invites you to climb inside, where you may remain for up to 8 hours. No creature can see you while you reside in the tree. The tree alerts you if it is harmed.
