Description:	The forces of nature are intimidating, neutral, and powerful. If roused by one with the proper knowledge, they will manifest themselves as a physical entity and rise up to battle anyone and anything nearby. This is a non-battle spell that can be cast on a single target. Non-battle spells have significantly longer preparation times than battle spells. This is a cyclic spell. To cast this kind of spell, prepare it at the amount of mana you wish to cast it at, and then cast it. This spell will continually pulse as long as you have harnessed enough mana to fuel the mana requirements. Cambrinth also works as a source of fuel for cyclic spells, as does your raw attunement if you have the Raw Channeling feat. It can be cast without a target. It requires a minimum of five mana streams, and can expand to a maximum of twenty-five mana streams woven into it. To begin to be able to cast this spell, you will need to reach the rank of a 50th degree adept. By the time you have mastered this spell, you will be ranked as a guru in your abilities as a caster. It requires the Utility skill to cast effectively. Before you can learn this spell, you must know Deadfall, and be circle 30. It will also cost two spell slots.
Effect:	Spawn that fights alongside Ranger. High threat index (agro tank) with natural "plate" armor. Normal spawn will only fight living, when Plague Spawn (cast in city or with PLS) will only fight corp. undead.
Example Messaging:	You gesture. A leaf-green wave of light ripples outward from you. The surrounding vegetation awakens and stirs in response to your call. Leaves and vines weave together, coalescing into a humanoid spawn that rises from the ground and readies itself for battle.
Devices/Tattoos:	No devices or tattoos documented.

Notes

Creates a spawn that fights along side the Ranger. Damage and efficacy depends on TM skill and mana. The type of spawn created depends on the environment of the room. (See notes below).

Forms

Plague

The plague spawn is a mass of three-spot horseflies compacted into a vaguely humanoid form and churning with insectile activity. A leaf-green glow seeps through thousands of diaphanous wings in the swarm, and though not a single creature, there is an air of collective intelligence to the spawn.

Forest

The forest spawn is a mass of pine saplings, vines and soil woven into a vaguely humanoid form and crowned with a mane of leaves. A leaf-green glow seeps from between the tightly bound foliage and though eyeless, the creature surveys the area with an air of intelligence. It is holding a rather large, sharpened pine limb in its grip.
The vines and leaves composing the forest spawn slowly unravel and recede into the forest.

Water
