Message: <blockquote data-quote="mwnrnc" data-source="post: 6130211" data-attributes="member: 88107">I'm working on a new spell for 3.5 for druids (and possibly rangers).  Something like what is below:[HR][/HR]Rapid GrowthTransmutationLevel: Drd 2Components: V, S, DFCasting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft. / 2 levels)Target(s): Up to five plants, no two of which can be more than 15 ft. apart Duration: ConcentrationSaving Throw: NoneSpell Resistance: NoYou channel positive energy into the target plant(s), causing them to grow very swiftly as if time were passing more quickly.  The plants grow as they would naturally in the environment in which they are located when the spell is cast.  However, they are not subject to parasites, disease, or other environmental effects.  Each round of concentration is equivalent to 3 months of growth for the target plant(s).  For every two caster levels beyond 3rd, you can affect an additional plant - two at 5th level, three at 7th level, four at 9th level, five at 11th level.  However, the single spell covers all plants that are being affected.  You cannot stop some affected plants from growing while allowing others to continue.  If your concentration is broken, all affected plants cease growing. This spell has no effect on plant creatures and affects non-magical plants only.  Rapidly growing many plants in a short time exhausts the soil and prevents further plants from growing.[HR][/HR]Some potential uses I can foresee: magically growing a sprout into a food-yielding plant, placing an acorn in an open field and growing a tree for an archer to snipe from, causing ivy to grow up along a castle wall for easy climbing.  To limit abuse (i.e. farming poisonous or magically-useful plant components), I'd rule that rapidly aging a plant for harvest over and over is a violation of druid code, plus there could be other in-world complications and consequences.  Is this a second level spell, or should it be higher or lower?  Could this effect be considered a corner case of the extant Plant Growth spell and be folded into that?  Any other suggestions?</blockquote>
