Circle of Biomancy

Most druids find their power in the harmony of nature. They have a deep understanding of life and creation and it guides them to protect and foster the growth of the world around them. Circle of Biomancy druids however are invigorated by the subjugation of nature. Asserting their will over the natural world twisting it into whatever they desire.

Long ago a group of druids practicing the Circle of Spores gathered to abandon their training to found a new order. One that followed a different philosophy, their belief was that the world as it is was fragile and weak. So they set out to perfect the land based on their own plans. This order seeks to manipulate nature to suit their needs however they are fairly solitary practitioners. Any given Biomancer may take on a single apprentice to teach them life manipulation. Many like the first have found themselves falling into darkness due to the harsh and somewhat evil nature to their powers. Becoming tired of pulling legs from spiders and moving up to us. Few have broken the pattern and lived lives as physicians using their power for good. However one does not ever truly escape the evil that lies inside you. So long as the lineage of master and student remains unbroken the twisted horrors of your magic will forever stain this world.
