Groves (skill)

Groves

Groves is the skill of interacting with the great forests of Imperian. It will allow you to establish a private Grove from which you will base your power. Groves absorb and accumulate sunlight, which you use to power the abilities. Every night, you will lose some of the sunlight, as the Grove must maintain itself even when everything else is sleeping soundly. Further, most abilities in Groves will use up some of this sunlight energy.

Before you can make a Grove of your own, you must use your abilities to discover an unclaimed forest location. Think about it wisely, for this is permanent until you reach great power in this skill.
