|description = The seers within the depths of Dendara speak highly of this art, passing it down from one generation to the next as a means of tracking elusive quarry that would otherwise evade their senses.

|description = While many of the spirits of Dendara can be beings of great benevolence, it is common to encounter the gnarled spirits that care little for the mortal realms. In binding them to your will, you may turn their very visage against your foes.

|description = Runes are a common sight in Dendara; strewn amongst the destroyed shrines and broken cairns, but there are many that are still scratched into the trees and stone as a means of warding or protection against evil. One such rune, spoken as 'cethor', can be utilized by a shaman to protect himself. By calling upon your latent energy, you may channel the protective spell through your quarterstaff and scribe it into the air before you.

|description = The baleful creatures of Chaos stand outside the Rhythm of Dendara, skirting the edge of corruption and seething darkness. Cast them back to the abyss from whence they came by banishing them from the realm of mortals.

|description = By harvesting bone, horn, and other objects from your fallen prey, you may honor them in death by using their leering visage as a spiritmask. Using colourful inks, the shaman of Dendara create wonderous displays to the fallen beasts and gain resistances to the elements as they utter a

While anyone may wear the mask, the powerful magics within will only reflect upon the shaman who created it.

|syntax = SHAMAN WARDING

|description = Spirits of the natural world can be encouraged to take on various forms for the whim of the summoner. Utilizing a lesser spirit of lighting as a ward, you may command it take on the form of an orb that will encircle the limb you are currently parrying. If an enemy moves to strike that limb, the spirit will electrocute the attacker and have a chance of delivering a mental affliction.

|description = By altering your senses to discern subtle fluctuations in vital energies, you may allow yourself to gather more detailed information on

your other people. While spiritsight is active, any loki effects that strike your people will report their afflictions to you, while keeping your victim unaware. In addition to this, the effect of your loki venom will be much stronger.

OATH <oath> ACTIVATE<br>

OATH <oath> DISABLE

|description = One of the ways a Druid may unlock their potential is by binding their service to the many totemic spirits of Dendara. By taking individual oaths with the spirits within, you will gather numerous boons, ranging from protection from the elements, to immunity from certain mental afflictions, to a chance to resist such afflictions in their entirety. There are seven oaths that you may swear, and once unlocked, each oath will remain with you permanently. You may activate or disable them at will - though each active oath presents a cumulative mana and willpower drain.

The current oaths are:

[Oath of the Forestwalker]

- Grants foresight to the druid, giving them a 10% chance to resist mental afflictions

[Oath of Tranquility]

- Enhances healing, causing overgrowth/forest rooms to periodically heal an affliction

[Oath of the Primeval]

- Enhances spirit animal, causing them to strike more quickly.

[Oath of the Rhythm]

- Causes serene balance in the druid, granting immunity to berserking, peace and pacifism

|description = While a druid is incapable of true clairvoyance, their ability to alter destiny in the most subtle of fashions can prove to be a powerful tool. With this simple hex, a druid may place a premonition deep within the psyche of their victim, foretelling future maledictions and inhibiting their victim's ability to shake off their effects. While affected by a premonition, a victim will find themselves unable to cure any infestation of spiritual parasites or the effects of blighted spines. The premonition itself may only be removed by leaving the presence of the druid, or focusing one's mind while unaffected by any other mental affliction.

|syntax = SHAMAN SONGLINE ERECT<br>

SHAMAN SONGLINE DESTROY<br>

SHAMAN SONGLINE LIST<br>

SHAMAN SONGLINE TRAVEL <area><br>

|description = Upon your journey throughout the land, you will come across many places of wonder and joy, hardship and sorrow. Remember your tales of the past in short verse and whispered song by erecting small totems of these journeys. It is often said that in the depths of Dendara, the whispered song of ages long past still drifts upon the winds and can be heard as an echo of the ages.

|description = One need not bear all hardships or joys alone as you travel the world throughout your life. While songlines may only be crafted and bound by the singer, you may compel one to experience your travels by reciting to them your song of journey. Let them experience your journey through whispered song and voice.

|syntax = SHAMAN OMEN <target>

|description = Through primal magic of bone and blood, a shaman may string three fetishes upon his or her quarterstaff and enact a binding hex upon their foe. A short time later, an omen of malevolence shall descend upon them, dealing damage and stunning.

|skillname = Fetishes

|syntax = FETISH CREATE <fetish>

|description = You are now capable of creating mystic fetishes to invoke ancient magics upon your foe. Once created, you must string the fetishes upon your quarterstaff and attune your target to unlock their potential. See AB SHAMANISM STRINGING and AB SHAMANISM ATTUNEMENT for more details.

Fetishes are powerful tools that are activated by an attuned target (or the druid themselves) meeting specific criteria (known as trigger

conditions). When the threshold is passed, the fetish will become active, and will enact a persistent effect. When the same criteria is met, the fetish will be rendered inactive. Careful consideration of fetish effects is important, as you are only capable of using three fetishes at a given time.

|skillname = Stringing

|syntax = FETISH STRING <fetish> [<fetish> <fetish>]

|description = Using a length of corded leather you may string up to three fetishes on your quarterstaff at once. You can only string fetishes that you have personally created, and only one of a type of fetish can be on your quarterstaff at once. Fetishes are consumed once they are tethered to your quarterstaff.

|skillname = Horn

|description = The horn fetish is activated by passing the threshold of 3 natural energy - this can be done by gaining energy, or by depleting it past that mark.

|skillname = Ice

|description = The ice fetish is activated by the druid dropping below 50% of their maximum health. This can be done both by being damaged or using the effusion ability (AB PRIMALITY EFFUSION) to harm oneself. It will remain in affect for up to 10 seconds after the Druid has healed past 50% of their health.

|skillname = Tooth

|description = The tooth fetish is activated by the druid being affected by at least two broken limbs. This will only fire if the druid reached two broken limbs through gaining the afflictions, not by curing additional broken limbs.

|skillname = Bone

|description = The bone fetish is activated by an attuned target using a shield tattoo or any other means of forming a temporary barrier. This does not apply to the prismatic barrier generated by using a lyre.

|skillname = Claw

|description = The claw fetish is activated by an attuned foe who is greatly bleeding - achieving at least 200 bleeding will activate the effect. This effect can only be triggered once each time the opponent passes 200 bleeding, not if they continue to bleed.

|skillname = Eye

|description = The eye fetish is activated whenever the attuned target uses diagnose to check their afflictions.

|skillname = Bark

|description = The bark fetish is activated by the druid receiving a moderate amount of damage - roughly 2000 health.

|skillname = Stone

|description = The stone fetish is activated by an attuned target completing a writhe action. Note that this will only affect the fetish if the opponent is either bound or affected by druidic thorns when they attempt to writhe.

{{AB

|description = Trigger condition: The shell fetish is activated by an attuned target attempting to focus their mind to cure mental maladies. The condition will only be achieved if the opponent is both capable of focusing and consumes the proper balance.

Activation effect: While the shell fetish is active, your victim will find that the magics empowering their tree tattoo have been rendered inactive.

|skillname = Feather

|description = Trigger condition: The feather fetish is activated by an attuned target attempting to cure two afflictions from the same curing tree in a row. Consult HELP CURES CONCOCTIONS or HELP CURES REANIMATION to learn the various curative trees. This effect only applies to herbal/slice afflictions.

You have the following familiar abilities:

|skillname = Familiar

|syntax = FAMILIAR SUMMON <type><br>

|skillname = Cougar

|syntax = FAMILIAR SUMMON COUGAR

|description = The jaguar spirit will deal physical damage to your enemies and occassionally cause one of sensitivity, blurry vision and clumsiness.

|skillname = Invigorate

|syntax = FAMILIAR INVIGORATE

|description = At a nominal cost to your own health, you may regenerate your familiar's physical form, repairing any damage they may have taken in battle.

|skillname = Raven

|syntax = FAMILIAR SUMMON RAVEN

|description = The raven spirit will either drain the target's mana and deliver a hidden anxiety, or deal psychic damage to the target.

|skillname = Tethering

|syntax = FAMILIAR TETHER <ON{{!}}OFF>

|description = Tether your familiar to this realm, making it immune to the effects of orb sigils at the cost of a small willpower drain to yourself.

Furthermore, if the familiar is attacked when not within your presence, it will instantly return to your side.

|skillname = Glance

|syntax = FAMILIAR GLANCE

|description = You may quickly glance through the eyes of your familiar, allowing you discern all in their location at no cost.

|skillname = Spiritbond

|syntax = FAMILIAR SPIRITBOND <ON{{!}}OFF>

|description = Mitigates 10% of damage you take over to your familiar, at the expense of a slight willpower drain.}}

|description = The wyvern spirit is the most fierce of all the familiars. Its attacks have a chance to stun the target and set them on fire.
