Awaken

Awaken is a spell known by powerful druids and bards that grants full sentience permanently to a plant or animal. The newly uplifted creature is then magically enchanted to be friendly and obedient to the caster for 30 days. This spell is considered a sign of power and prestige among druidic elites. Awaken requires a powerful and strenuous ritual, which requires 8 hours and 1,000 gold worth of rare minerals.    Awaken spells are potent in their permanency. An awakened tree or elephantis a potent physical force even without further training and equipment. Awakened creatures can also have quite the extended lifespans.    This spell has captivated powerful casters for many years; once, even Haru fixated on the possibility of applying it to the Isethra Tree. There is a certain archetypal kind of caster who is far too loose with this spell, producing many orphaned creation and experiments.
