By means of shape wood, the caster can reform wood. For example, the priest can cast it upon any appropriate-sized piece of wood to fashion a wooden weapon, make a rough door, or even create a crude figurine.
The spell also allows the caster to reshape an existing wooden door, perhaps to escape imprisonment. Again, the volume of the wooden object must be appropriate to the desired result and fit in the area of effect.
While a caster might form a wooden coffer from a tree stump or a door from a wooden wall, the result does not bear high quality detail. If a shaping has moving parts, there is a 30% chance they do not work. The alteration endures permanently, at least until the wood rots or is physically destroyed.
The caster blows the material component, a pinch of fine sawdust, over the wooden object subjected to the spell.
Notes: Uncommon for druids.
