Circle of Primal Evolution

Druids of this circle believe in one philosophy. The law of the jungle cannot be denied. Survival of the fittest, kill or be killed, eat or be eaten. These are all mottos of this druidic caste. These druids wield all the fury of nature by learning of ancient primal beasts, creatures perfected by nature. These monstrous creatures are a virtual pinnacle in evolution, raw strength, cunning, and even able to bend some of the elements to their whim. The Circle of Primal Evolution requires a druid to survive a ritual involving an infusion of DNA from these beasts, one after the next. This process is painful at best, deadly at worst, but grants the druid with incredibly power. These druids hone their natural abilities, focusing on channeling the might, senses, and abilities of these primal beasts, eventually even being able to wildshape into these monstrous creations of nature. Beware, the claws and fangs require blood.

Evolutionary Adaptation

When you are bonded with the DNA of the Primals, your ability to wildshape is slightly enhanced. starting at level 2 your wildshape takes a bonus action instead of an action. Additionally, while wildshaped, you may spend a spell slot to heal 1d8 hit points per level of the expended slot. 

You gain the ability to use your magical powers to mutate your physical form to attain the features of these creatures. As an action you can expend a spell slot to gain the following benefits, so long as you are not currently wildshaped. 

Temporary Hit Points equal to your wisdom modifier x the level of the spell slot expended 

A Claw attack you are proficient with that deals 1d6 damage, using your wisdom modifier for the attack and damage rolls. As a bonus action, you can make a second strike with these claws.

Darkvision out to 60ft. If you already have darkvision, the range is extended by 30ft.

Natural armor of 13+dex modifier. 

These benefits last for 1 minute, or until the druid goes into a wildshape. 

Primal Advantage

Normal wildshape rules apply to these forms. Choosing to wildshape into one of these creatures uses 4 charges of your wildshape feature.
