Winter has arrived, the ice and snow return and the world is once again giving new life the middle finger. Your tree enters a state of hibernation, and cannot produce mana. Hope you weren't taking it for granted!
The wildseed thorns have died.
Antherus casts Identify Plants on tile N... And learns that some of the grasses on this tile are used for insects during the winter month.
Hikari Sandashi returns to the tree and looks around for worms. She is able to confirm the existence of them, though they are not generally going to appear as creatures in the area due to being mostly irrelevant in any combat. She creates two Starlight Grenades with 1 effective level.
Nute heads to the east and uses Best Bush to try to alter the nutrients that the Best Bush uses. However, the only thing that you know about the Cor-Mites diet is that they bite at the Dryad Tree, and that isn't even concrete proof that their intention is to use that for nourishment. Attempting to cast Best Bush on the bush has an interesting effect however. A nearby different bush has become a "Best Bush's Best Bush", which is more or less the same as a Best Bush, except instead of being your Best Bush, it is the Best Bush's bush. Curious.
Geos takes the small stones aboveground and uses Shift Earth to reinforce the wall. Small Stones appear to be a much better building material than dirt.
Nute disputes the use of random spells at this time. For reasons.
Due to various disagreements, no tree magic has been invoked, with the exception of Call's undisputable choice to invoke Replace Dryad upon himself. Call returns to the tree and Thorn emerges from it in his place.
Bob heads towards the trench, but is unable to reach it this turn. He is now at tile N. (In order to cast Wild Shaping, you would need to declare a definitive form)
Reminder - Power Multiplier: Each turn you are limited by your power multiplier. If you want to use more than one ability you will need to assign parts of your multiplier to several different abilities. It is legal to use less than 1 power for a spell, but not generally recommended.
Dirt Wall: A wall of dirt nine centimeters high around the tree. It is easy to climb over the wall if you are already next to the tree. It is reinforced with a few small stones. There is a hole at its base.
Geode Crystals: Left over from a Geode Bomb. Not much of a threat any longer. The highest level of Geode Crystal is 2.
Trench: A trench made with the intention of connecting the river to the tree. Would supposedly be functional if it breached the river?
Tunnel: A hole dug at an angle that goes all the way down to subsoil. Clay can be obtained from this hole. Stones can be obtained from this hole.
Best Bush: An average looking bush Located at E. Its effective level is 1.
Best Bush's Best Bush: More than a little strange how this happened. Its effective level is 1.
Compost: Can be found in the Soil subcategory for the tree, and acts as an above average quality soil.
Starlight Grenades: See the Starlight Grenade ability. In Hikari Sandashi's possession. 1 at power 2.0, 2 at power 1.0

Heal: 1 mana - Heals 5 health for one Dryad, or 2 health for one Non-Dryad. (Not effective on the tree itself)
Revive (Tier 1): 3 mana - Revives a dead Dryad which is tier 1. The Dryad cannot act on the same turn as their revival.
Revive (Tier 2): 8 mana - Revives a dead Dryad which is tier 2. The Dryad cannot act on the same turn as their revival. The Dryad will have low health on revival.
New Dryad: 13 mana - Spawns a new Dryad from the waitlist. Cost increases with each purchase.
New Dryad Champion: 161 mana - Spawns a new Dryad from the waitlist. The summoned dryad will be one tier higher than usual. The +1 tier will be considered a "free upgrade" which does not influence the cost of future upgrades. This ability ignores waitlist priorities and picks a truly random player from the waitlist.
Replace Dryad: 0 mana - Replaces a Dryad with one from the waitlist. WARNING: This will sacrifice any upgrades purchased for the Dryad. Intended for the purpose of replacing inactive players.
Tier Retention - Adolescent: 12 mana - When a dryad with a tier of Adolescent or lower is replaced by any method, the new dryad may choose to retain the Dryad's tier. If the capstone was purchased, it must be included in the inheritance. This effect can also work for a tier 3 or higher Dryad, but only the second tier will be retained by this ability (with a tier 2 capstone replacing a tier 3+ one if applicable). This option will be available for all future Dryad replacements.
