This staff, carved from the branch of a Fae tree and embedded with a single thorn from the Heart's Thorn Thicket, is delicately embossed with a twisting design of thorny roses. It may be summoned or dispelled by the attuned creature with a bonus action.

The staff has 5 charges for the following properties. It regains 1d4 charges daily at dawn.

Spells

You can use an action to expend 1 or more of the staff's charges to cast one of the following spells from it, using your spell save DC:

• animal friendship (1 charge)
• awaken (5 charges)
• barkskin (2 charges)
• locate animals or plants (2 charges)
• speak with animals (1 charge)
• speak with plants (1 charges)
• wall of thorns (3 charges).

Tree Form. You can use an action to plant one end of the staff in fertile earth and expend 1 charge to transform the staff into a healthy tree. The tree is 60 feet tall and has a 5-foot-diameter trunk, and its branches at the top spread out in a 20-foot radius. The tree appears ordinary but radiates a faint aura of transmutation magic if targeted by detect magic. While touching the tree and using another action to speak its command word, you return the staff to its normal form. Any creature in the tree falls when it reverts to a staff.
