Makhal's Influence

The influence Makhal has on you begins to take shape. This influence begins to truly link you to nature. Unlike the druids who revere and study nature to learn their powers, someone with Makhal's Influence is a sorcerer imbued with the powers from direct contact with this nature spirit.

A Makhal is seen as a blessing upon the world by those who worship nature spirits. 

Primal Magic

Starting at 1st level, your link to nature allows you to learn spells from the druid class. When your Spellcasting feature lets you learn or replace a sorcerer cantrip or a sorcerer spell of 1st level or higher, you can choose the new spell from the druid spell list or the sorcerer spell list. You must otherwise obey all the restrictions for selecting the spell, and it becomes a sorcerer spell for you.

In addition, choose an environment of the natural world that is connected to the source of your primal magic from: arctic, coast, desert, forest, grassland, mountain, swamp, or underdark. You learn an additional spell based on that environment, as shown below. It is a sorcerer spell for you, but it doesn't count against your number of sorcerer spells known. If you later replace this spell, you must replace it with a spell from the druid spell list.

Coast	Fog Cloud

Forest	Goodberry
Grassland	Silent Image
Mountain	Earth Tremor
