Plant Renewal

Using this spell, a wizard may affect a single, specific plant that has been mostly wilted or dried out, but not completely turned to ash. The plant may have suffered lack of water, partial defilement, or insect predation that has left it on the verge of destruction. This spell revives it and makes it hardy enough to replant elsewhere.

If the plant then receives proper care and is not preyed upon by a defiler, it will survive and thrive, living out its appointed time and possibly leaving seeds from which other plants may grow. If it is again neglected or misused, the spell has no power to keep it alive artificially.

This spell is used to preserve herbs and rare flowers, but it can also be used to safely transplant a food crop plant to a new field. Defilers may cast this spell, but in so doing they turn an area of one-foot radius around the target plant to ash. This is in addition to any damage their actual spellcasting might have caused.

The material component for the spell is a drop of water.
