The Wood Tome

"You are already a monster, but with that Tome you have, you would be a GOD"

Created by Khali Crawford | Power Article found @ Wood Manipulation

Effect

Users can create, shape, and manipulate wood, including trees, shrubs, and lianas. They can cause wood to grow, move/attack or even rise from the soil and "walk", mutate wood by rearranging DNA structure, revive withered or dead wood or manipulate the deadwood as well as the living. Wood created from a Wood Release has three additional abilities which make it applicable in battle;

1. Wood can "eat" Magical Energy, draining a person of their energy until they are depleted
2. Wood can "suppress" any caught in its wake, slowly corroding their will to fight and any sense of conflict, pacifying unaware enemies.
3. Majikal Wood excels at recovery and healing, though a great amount of skill is needed.

Side/Secondary Effects

• May be unable to create wood, being limited to manipulating only from already existing sources. (This only applies to Mages who do not have this Tome)
• Most users are powerless in areas without wood/woody plants or at least potential for wood/woody plants to grow (infertile/barren soil). (This only applies to Mages who do not have this Tome)
• High levels of radiation in a concentrated area may cause defects in the ability.
• Users may be only able to control certain types of wood/woody plants.
• Distance, mass, precision, etc. depend upon the knowledge, skill, and strength of the user and their power's natural limits.
• It May have limits on the amount/time user can control.
• Attacks from Fire Manipulation and/or Ice Manipulation can pose an issue.
• Wood can be destroyed by flames.

Manifestation

When Released, the Wood will erupt from the ground or the body, if a planet naturally has wood or a wood-like substance present, the wood generated will resemble it. If you are on a world with yellow spikey wood trees, then your Wood Release will also be yellow and spikey, however, if the world in question has no wood, naturally, the wood will appear brown and plain.

Source

All Elemental Tomes are noting more than just the raw essence of their respective element, leftover from when creation was first cast in the mold. It is the raw unfiltered power of that element.

Discovery

The Wooden Tome has largely never remained in any one bloodline until it manifested in The Wooden Knight who would eventually become a Valorian Knight and be renowned as one of the most powerful beings in the Universe as he was able to use the Wooden Tome with extreme skill thanks to his abundance of Magical Energy, something his descendants would also inherit.
