Thorns

Mother Gaia herself is a force of nature that does not discriminate. Those that channel her power carry that power.

Can be replaced with Earth, Wind, Ice or Lightning Schools.

(DM Advice on Tree Stride. Sometimes, traveling can be tiring. Tree Stride can make getting to places quicker. If a caster can spend an hour ritual, they can use the same spell to teleport within several miles that they are familiar with. A lot can happen in a hour...)
