Homebrew Forest spirit Species Details

Created by Mother Nature using recently deceased humanoid adventurers that have died in the woods. When made the person’s memories and personality are stripped away leaving only what is needed. These creatures are made to defend forests from possible dangers. They have a perception filter that remains active Aslong as the forest spirit is in its birth place(the forest it was created) the filter makes their appearance more terrifying to adventurers than their actual appearance (a perception check can be made to look past the perception filter) when the creatures are made they resemble partly to the species they were before death. The one noticeable feature that is shared upon each forest spirit is their bright yellow eyes and the fact they look to be made of living wood.

You can cast it once without a spell slot, and you regain the ability to cast it in that way when you finish a Long Rest.
