Avatar of Nature

The modern research of new found sources of power, like the secrets of exaltation, have led to parallel breakthroughs in magical traditions. Ignoring the heated discussion who was first to channel the purest power of their area of expertise, it can be said that all traditions came up with their results almost simultaneously. Probably due to the general knowledge that the other guilds were experimenting on that matter, a competitive race to reach that goal first had started. In the end the result was the creation of an avatar empowerment by each of the guilds. Most druids strife to become one with nature. To most that end is only reached when they finally return to the soil that nourished them in their lifetime. A few powerful individuals though gain the insight, self-control and power to channel nature into themselves. While at first only practicable at certain holy places where the power of nature is strong, the masters of the druidic arts learn to embrace nature so intensely that they can carry it within themselves. Unleashing this primal energy transforms them spiritually and physically. While originally meant to be a religious experience to reach further enlightenment, the transformation has an undeniable application in battle or other forms of danger. Though some more spiritualistic druids shunned such a misuse of nature's gifts, most readily embraced the opportunities it presented.
