Not only was the Caoi Dulra basis for their system of values. but through its study and practice, the Druids learned to bond with the natural entities of Sanctuary. This bonding was so absolute that eventually they discovered how to talk to the plants and animals, and these beings taught them methods to call animals from far away, how to summon sentient plants from the earth, ways to change their own forms to share the strengths of their animal cousins, even, to a limited extent, techniques to control the weather.

The Druids shun the use of traditional magic, or Dubhdroiacht, as they call it. I instead practice a form of magic based in my close bond to nature. Through this intimate kinship with the world of Sanctuary, I have the power to command fire, earth, and the winds. I am a friend to the animals of the wilds and can call upon them to aid in my struggle. I can also use my heightened rapport with the animals to change the shape of my own body, drawing on the strengths and abilities of my woodland companions to better serve my cause.

Years of study and a life in harmony with nature have provided me a unique empathy with the world around me. These skills represent the Druids ability to influence the forces of nature. Expertise in these skills allows me to strike at enemies from a distance, assault whole groups at once, and even protect myself from the elemental attacks of others.

Long ago, the Druids confided in prayer their sacred charge to the supreme spirits of Nature. The spirits were moved by our plight and answered our calls for help. Over the many years since then, the sprits have contributed in many ways to the Druids cause, even offering up soldiers to serve in our campaign. A Druid educated in the language of the Natural spirits can appeal to them, and they will provide him with valuable companions. These companions fall into three groups: spirit animals, sentient vines, and minor spirits of Nature.
