This useful ability allows you to charge your quarterstaff with sunlight energy from your Grove, which can then be drained back into the Grove at a later date, or discharged in the form of a beam of flame and magic. Though you may choose how much sunlight you charge your quarterstaff with, you will lose approximately a third of the amount in transfer. What's more, a quarterstaff can only hold a maximum of 6000 units. To see how many units your quarterstaff is currently charged with, simply probe it.

Note that there is no loss in transfer when draining, and that discharging the quarterstaff is more effective against the undead.

This also allows you to summon a swarm of bees from your quarterstaff, should you be away from your grove. This still requires that you have a Hive within your grove.

Displacement

Syntax:

GROVE DISPLACEMENT <player>

This ability will cause you to switch places with any player in the forest, instantly.

Syntax:

GROVE BARRIER

This ability will cause your grove to regularly attempt to shield you and your allies.

Your natural attunement to the forest has allowed you to respond much better to the herbs in elixirs, allowing you to heal your health and mana at much greater rates then normal.

Forestbinding

Syntax:

GROVE FORESTBINDING

This powerful ability will prevent entry to and egress from the entire forest.

Resurrection

Syntax:

This very costly ability will grant life to the soul of any player you specify, provided that the body is in your grove.

When you initiate the annihilation, you will have five seconds during which you may type anything to abort the fatal blast. After you have used this ability, you will not be able to put your imprint on another for an Aetolian year.

Hypercure

Syntax:

GROVE HYPERCURE

This ability will set up a forest ritual which will heal one of your afflictions every few seconds.

Portability

Syntax:

PLANT QUARTERSTAFF GROVE UNIFY

This, the most powerful of all Grove abilities, allows you to temporarily move your Grove to any forest or jungle location where there is not already a Grove or temporary Grove. Planting a quarterstaff in such a location will move your grove there, though only temporarily. With time, your Grove will return to its home.
