Nature
Nature Occultists draw power from nature and powerful and magical plants and natural phenomena. They are granted spells and abilities through rare herbs, ancient rituals, and knowledge from wise sentient plants with their Medium, the still speaking mouth of a Treant, a rare flower that never blooms, or similar spectacular specimens of nature. Nature Occultists are unique in that their Mediums are living, fueled by the Oculist's power. They seek out hidden locations of untouched nature, mighty plant monsters, and the secrets of Druids. Other Occultists view them as dirty, wild, and uncivilized though they cannot deny their skills.
