Circle of the Tempest

Druids of the Circle of the Tempest are ones that are not easily deterred, nor are they ones that should be taken lightly. For they one the individuals that have seen the storm inside and out and have continued until the stare into the eye. The druids of this Circle are not a traditional sort. It feels as if the Tempest actively seeks out it's guardians, it's guides, it's avatars. Tempest druids may seem as calm as the blue sky, but underneath lies a riptide yearning for adventure, danger, and freedom. But be warned, as quickly as the sky darkens, so too will these avatar's fury shock and awe.

Beacon in the Dark

At 2nd level, Before you can unleash it's Fury, you must first learn to guide other to safety. You learn the Produce Flame cantrip, if not known already, to become the Lighthouse guiding people to shelter from the Tempest. Your keen sense of time and direction rival those of any master navigator; you also gain Advantage on any checks regarding Tracking, Finding a path to lead other and reading a map.

Calm Before the Storm

At 2nd level, by meditating and listening to nature, you can sense and prepare for a oncoming Tempest. During a short rest, you choose expended spell slots to recover. The spell slots can have a combined level that is equal to or less than half your druid level (rounded up), and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher. You can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.

For example, when you are a 4th-level druid, you can recover up to two levels worth of spell slots. You can recover either a 2nd-level slot or two 1st-level slots.
