Circle of Wild Spirits

The Circle of Wild Spirits is bonded to a series of primordial beings. Druids who follow those spirits wield primal spirit magic.

Druids who join this circle vow to be watchers on the borders of the wild and ambassadors to its unspoiled mysteries. The spirits of this circle believe that nature must flourish with its own design and that its independent growth teaches many lessons; Their druids are taught not to be gardeners, but to be nature's neighbors, its secret keepers, and teachers of its wonders.

Circle Spells

2nd-level Circle of Wild Spirits feature

The lessons you learn from nature and your spirits grant you access to some spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Circle of Wild Spirits Spells table.

Once you gain access to one of these spells, you always have it prepared, and it doesn’t count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. If you gain access to a spell that doesn’t appear on the druid spell list, the spell is nonetheless a druid spell for you.

Circle of Wild Spirits Spells

Apparitions of Nature

2nd-level Circle of the Wild feature

When you join this circle, you perform sacred rites to bind yourself to a trio of spirits. As a bonus action, you can expend a use of wildshape to channel one spirit you choose from the Wild Spirits table and gain its magical benefits, rather than assuming a beast form. While those benefits last, your AC increases by your Wisdom modifier if you aren't wearing heavy armor.

These benefits last for 1 minute, until you use a bonus action to end them, or until you are unconscious or dead. If a benefit requires a creature to make a saving throw, the DC is equal to your spell save DC.
