Circle of Storms

Druids of the Circle of Storms have communed, through ancient rituals, with the four winds (North, East, South, and West) and with the ancient progenitor of all storms, a magical tempest known as the primal storm. These druids teach that, just like the primal storm, nature is in constant flux, and that this change is a good thing. They anticipate the sudden arrival of a storm or danger at all times, and believe that wisdom involves knowing when to run with the wind and when to run against it. Storm druids can often be found in tribal societies that live on open plains, on mountains, or along coasts. Some venerate a particular wind, such as the icy North Wind, or a particular storm, such as the monsoon or the Tornado. In battle, they buffet and manipulate their foes with wind and lightning. They invoke the power of the primal storm, rising off the earth to blast their enemies with all of the shocking fury of a thunderstorm.

Transcendent Form

At 2nd level you can expend a use of your Wild shape to enter a Transcendent Form of storm and sky as a bonus action. While in Transcendent Form you gain temporary hit points equal to your level times 3 and you gain resistance to lightning and thunder damage. In addition while in Transcendent Form when a creature takes damage for one of your druid spells that deals lightning or thunder damage the target suffers the weapon attack’s normal effects, and you can cause cackling lightning to leap from the target to a different creature of your choice that you can see within 10 feet of it. The second creature takes lightning damage equal to your Wisdom modifier.

Circle Spells

 At 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and 11th levels, you are granted additional spells that allow you to interact with the sky, these spells also require no material components.

Once you gain access to one of these spells, you always have it prepared, and it doesn’t count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. If you gain access to a spell that doesn’t appear on the druid spell list, the spell is a druid spell for you.
