Spriggan Form

Druid · Primalist

Transform into a forest spriggan, increasing your spell casting capabilities, and gaining 4 new abilities.

Your mana is replaced with Rage while in spriggan form. When your Rage reaches 0 you automatically transform back into your human form. Your starting Rage is equal to your maximum mana. Rage slowly decays over time at a constant rate.

More information

The four new abilities are: Spirit Thorns, Thorn Shield, Summon Vine and Summon Healing Totem.

While in spriggan form you have 50% increased spell damage and +300 armor.

When returning to human form, your mana will return to the amount you had before shapeshifting, but you will have gained the mana you regenerated while shapeshifted. Other forms of mana recovery do not apply.
