 ====== Nature ======
-You can control and move flora of all types and speak with the spirits that inhabit them. This includes causing plants to attack, arrest movement by grabbing limbs, warping and destroying wooden objects, and making plants bloom out of season. There is some overlap with with power and [[Creatures]] with this power only acting on non-sentient animals in ways that pertain to the natural cycle of life.
+You can control natural phenomenon including plants and weather. This does not include natural animals (fauna) as that falls under the [[creatures:]] skill, but it does allow you to speak and interact with various nature spirits like nymphs.
-===== Trappings =====
-==== Herbalism ====
+===== Natural Order =====
-This knowledge skill allows you to identify plants and herbs in your current zone and understand their properties. You can then make [[actions@assessment|assessments]] or [[actions@declarations|declarations]] in the same was a the [[Lore]] skill.
+Many uses of this skill are very disruptive to the natural order of the world. In most cases you are believed to be acting in harmony with nature as much as possible. However, any costs can be used to wreck havoc on the natural order. If you summon a storm in order to blast your enemies with lightning that storm could easily drought a nearby region or continue its rain of destruction where it was summoned.
-==== Speak with Plants ====
+For those people that wish to use the Nature skill to instead wreck havoc upon the natural order this is less of a concern and may find that their costs are reflected in nature no longer heeding their call or even actively opposing them.
-You can communicate with plants and any nature spirits within the area. Information gained is often difficult to understand as the difference between their world and the animal world is so great.
+===== Actions =====
+==== Overcome ====
+You can overcome natural barriers whether it is caused by extreme weather or dense undergrowth. In the same manner you can use these forces to overcome environmental disadvantages.
+==== Create an Advantage ====
+The Nature skill is naturally used to create an environment in which you have an advantage. Storms, sleet, snow, and a hot sunny day are all with the purview. Trees can block passage and vines can trip up opponents.
+==== Attack ====
+It is not generally used to attack with the proper conditions. You cannot control lightning that is not there - first you must change the weather to a violent storm. While you cannot throw thorns because they do not naturally hurl themselves at speed, you can animate a creeper vine to strangle.
+==== Defend ====
+Nature does a fantastic job of defending against all manner of physical attacks as trees block and storms gale.
-==== Control Plants ====
-You can control non-sentient flora within the immediate area. You can use this power to make composure attacks against sentient flora and spirits in order to compel them.
-==== Bless the Land ====
-You can perform an maneuver to place a temporary aspect across a large section of land. The base difficulty is Mediocre(+0) or higher if the land has been blighted. Each shift gained allows this trapping to effect a larger [[tables#scale|area]].
 ===== Stunts =====
-^ Stunt ^ Prerequisite ^ Description  ^  Page((Page numbers are in the Legends of Anglerre book until otherwise noted.)) ^
-| Draw Power  |   | FP allows non-sentient fauna or flora to take consequences based upon shifts  |  134 |
+==== Draw Power ====
-| Merge with Plant  |   | Merge body with large enough plant and move/attack  |  134 |
+Once per scene, for a Fate Point you can cause the natural environment around you to take a consequence in place of you - creating a scene aspect. The aspect is named by the opponent that would have caused the consequence instead of you. The opponent gets a free invoke against this aspect.
-| Plant Warrior  |   | [[power#summon|Summon non-sentient]] lesser plant minions  |  134 |
-| Summon Plant Spirit  | Plant Warrior  | [[power#summon|Summon]] greater sentient nature spirits  |  134 |
-| Fertility  |  | FP to make non-sentient fauna or flora bear offspring immediately  |  134 |
+==== Merge with Plant ====
+If you overcome a Fair(+2) difficulty you can "step inside" and merge with a plant of your scale or greater, either to hide, or animate it and use it to attack. If used to attack, you gain the plant’s scale and attack with your Nature skill. If you get a Success with Style then instead of a boost you gets the following abilities while merged: Armor:1, Weapon:1, and it can move 1 zone per action. If you are even taken out then you are ejected from the plant; otherwise the maximum time is based upon the [[tables#Time Chart]] of the number of shifts you get.
+==== Fertility ====
+You can make a flora grow instantly into maturity if you overcome a Fair(+2) difficulty (higher if the conditions are not suited for growth). If you achieve a success with style then the plants will also germinate and bear any fruit or seed. You can cover a number of acres equal to your Nature rating.
+==== Storm caller ====
+Normally when you change the weather it only affects your immediate area for the current scene. With this stunt the number of shifts you obtain can be directly translated into the Time Chart for the length of time the storm will continue to stay in the area.
+==== Beastmaster ====
+You can use your Nature skill to command the natural animals around you. This includes all non-sentient natural animals. You can only use your skill on animals in your immediate area.
+==== Sacred Ground ====
+You may designate a small area as sacred ground to you, be that hallow or blighted. This stunt will require that you undertake story elements in the creation of this environs. The ground is created as an [[extras|extra]].
