I love it! Lots of stuff that adds overall feel of the Fey in Shadowdark.

Agree with the other comments, good addition to the core game, very classic Druid in the non-gaming sense.  Would recommend adding Druidic language to the core class as part of Druidic devotion and a new Tier 3 spell that emulates a bit of the Wildshape capability that has become known for Druids in the gaming sense.   Like a slimmed down polymorph with a prescribed list of natural creatures to choose from (Wolf, Hawk, etc), and possibly  additional forms depending on alignment (Chaotic - Giant Spider, etc) but contain it within a spell casting mechanic as opposed to the main class.  Then a player can choose to lean into that part of their Druid character or not.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions! I do hope to build this out a bit more (particularly with a more complete spell list), so it's likely we'll see some of the elements you've mentioned.

What is the Tier 1 spell Thorn?  Is it new?

Apologies! You have discovered an error in the document. I believe Thorn was a new spell I wanted to write but didn't get to. I'll likely write it (or delete that item if I don't) when I create the expanded document (hopefully in the next few weeks). Thanks for reading so carefully!
