Fora Fate Point, nearby livestock or plants or even the earth itself can take consequences for you. The shifts generated on a Mediocre (+0) difficulty roll indicate which consequence:

• 2 shifts: Minor consequence
• 4 shifts: Major consequence
• 6 shifts: Severe consequence
• 8 shifts: Extreme consequence

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, it provides a -1 armour bonus, and you use your Nature power skill as your attack skill (with branches, etc), and as the amount of stress you may suffer before being ejected from the plant (a Good (+3) Nature skill means you have 3 stress points). You may uproot the tree and move slowly while merged, but may not run. On a power fumble, you can’t return to your original form! (See “When Transformations Go Wrong”) for more.

A Lesser Summoning stunt, allowing you to summon or animate one or more scale 2 plant minions.

Requires Plant Warrior

A Greater Summoning stunt , allowing you to summon plant spirits such as dryads.

For a Fate point, you can make a livestock animal heavily pregnant or a plant bear fruit immediately, creating a temporary aspect. This can be used for food, and is often performed as a ritual or group working using the Area Effect stunt.
