As a seedling you are taught a ritual which allows you to commune with nature and befriend a minor forest spirit. The forest spirit takes on the form of a Small or Tiny beast of challenge rating 0 of your choice. The forest spirit has the statistics of the chosen form, though it is an elemental, fey, or plant (your choice) instead of a beast.
The forest spirit acts independently from you. It is friendly toward you and generally follows your instructions, but if you willingly harm nature or act in ways that are malicious or evil, the forest spirit abandons you. In combat, it rolls its own initiative and acts on its own turn. The forest spirit disappears when it drops to 0 hit points, leaving behind no physical form.
It reappears after you spend an hour communing with nature.
Your forest spirit can communicate with you telepathically as long as you are within 100 feet of each other. Additionally, your forest spirit can communicate with any creature with which it shares a type.
You can’t befriend more than one forest spirit at a time. If you perform the ritual while you already have a forest spirit, you instead cause your forest spirit to adopt the form of a different Small or Tiny beast with a challenge rating of 0 of your choice.
