Spirit Tree

Deep in the Reaching Forest are special trees known as Spirit trees, that grow in small clusters forming groves known as a Spirit Grove. Spirit Trees are actually several different trees that have grown in the same spot, forming a tangle of branches overhead and roots underfoot, causing the forest darken in these ares as the canopy grows thick in these groves.

These trees light up with colorful hues of green blue and purple with small will-o-wisps that, unlike other wisps, always stay near their tree. These groves are all sources of great magical power, but scholars advise not to attempt to harness it for use, due to the source of this power primarily being known as souls from forest spirits. Attempts by detractors have so far been reportedly disastrous, but there have been reports of some intelligent forest inhabitants finding ways to use the groves' power without any complications.

People who find themselves in these groves find that they can commune with nature directly, sometimes granting wisdom and knowledge beyond what they'd ever learn otherwise. Some find the groves unfriendly, especially loggers or hunters, though this is not always the case.
