You plant a silver acorn in solid ground and spend an hour chanting praises to the natural world, after which the land within 1 mile of the acorn becomes extremely fertile, regardless of its previous state. Any seeds planted in the area grow at twice the natural rate. Food harvested regrows within a week. After one year, the land slowly reverts to its normal fertility, unable to stave off the march of nature. Choose one of the following effects, which appears and grows immediately:
• A field planted with vegetables, ready for harvest.
• A thick forest of stout trees and ample undergrowth.
• A grassland with wildflowers and fodder for grazing.
• An orchard of fruit trees of your choice, growing in orderly rows and ready for harvest.
Living creatures that take a short rest within the area of a bloom spell receive the maximum hit points for Hit Dice expended. Bloom counters the effects of a desolation spell.
Ritual Focus. If you expend your ritual focus, the duration becomes permanent. To expend a ritual focus, pay twice the cost of the material component in the ritual. This might represent the material component’s construction of higher-quality materials, or it might simply mean using more of the listed material component, whichever is most appropriate. If a ritual’s material component normally does not cost any gold, to expend its ritual focus, spend 100 gp.
