Create a vine-like whip covered in thorns and lash it at one creature within range. Make a melee power attack. On a hit, the target takes 4 (1d6) piercing damage, and if it is Large or smaller, you may pull it up to 10 ft. toward you.
Whisper to nearby plants and nature. Choose one: cause a Tiny plant to bloom, open, wilt, or grow slightly; predict the weather for the next 24 hours in your immediate area; create a harmless sensory effect such as falling petals, drifting leaves, or floral scent; or make a seedling, flower, or vine sprout in soil.
Ten berries appear in your hand and are infused with magic for the duration. A creature can take a bonus action to eat one berry. Eating a berry restores 1 hit point and provides enough nourishment to sustain a creature for one day. Uneaten berries disappear when the effect ends.
Roots and vines erupt in a 10-ft. square on the ground within range. The area is difficult terrain. A creature that enters the area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there must make a STR save or become restrained until the start of its next turn.
You can communicate simple ideas with plants as if you shared a language. Plants can convey basic information about creatures, weather, disease, damage, and movement they have sensed nearby. This does not make plants intelligent or friendly, but you have advantage on Nature checks made to understand or influence plant life.
Release a puff of irritating pollen at one creature you can see within range. The target must make a CON save, taking 7 (2d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success. On a failed save, it also has disadvantage on the next Perception check or attack roll it makes before the end of its next turn.
Grow and apply medicinal herbs to one creature. The target regains 13 (3d8 + your WIS modifier) hit points. If the target is poisoned, it may immediately repeat the saving throw against one poison affecting it.
Vines erupt in a 15-ft. radius centered on a point within range. The area is difficult terrain. When a creature enters the area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a STR save or have its speed reduced to 0 until the start of its next turn.
Cause normal plants in a 60-ft. radius centered on a point within range to grow thick and strong. The area becomes difficult terrain for creatures of your choice. You may also use this power over 8 hours to enrich up to 1 acre of land, doubling its food yield for one year.
Thorns erupt outward from nearby plants or conjured vines. Creatures of your choice in the emanation must make a DEX save, taking 9 (2d8) piercing damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success.
A restorative bloom opens nearby. Creatures of your choice in the emanation regain 18 (4d8 + your WIS modifier) hit points. A target that is poisoned may also end that condition.
When a creature you can see within range moves, vines snap around it. The target must make a STR save or its speed becomes 0 for the rest of the turn.
Grow a small shelter of branches, leaves, and vines large enough to house up to six Medium creatures. The shelter grants half cover from outside attacks, conceals smoke and firelight, and provides protection from normal weather.
Create a 15-ft. radius cloud of irritating spores centered on a point within range. The area is lightly obscured. A creature that enters the area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there must make a CON save, taking 14 (4d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success. On a failed save, it cannot take reactions until the start of its next turn.
Medicinal plants surge with restorative power. Creatures of your choice in the emanation regain 27 (6d8) hit points and may end one poison or disease affecting them.
Roots and vines form a cage around one creature you can see within range. The target must make a STR save or become restrained for the duration. It repeats the save at the end of each of its turns. While restrained this way, it takes 9 (2d8) piercing damage at the start of each of its turns.
Grow a bridge, ladder, rope, platform, or canopy path of living vines and branches up to 60 ft. long and 10 ft. wide. It can support creatures and objects as normal wood and plant matter, and it withers when the duration ends unless rooted in suitable soil.
Release a swarm of razor-edged petals in a 20-ft. radius centered on a point within range. Creatures of your choice in the area must make a DEX save, taking 27 (6d8) slashing damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success.
Create a living garden of medicinal plants in the emanation. Creatures of your choice regain hit points equal to your WIS modifier at the start of each of their turns while in the garden. The garden is difficult terrain for hostile creatures.
Create a wall of twisting thorns up to 60 ft. long, 20 ft. high, and 5 ft. thick. The wall blocks line of sight, provides three-quarters cover, and is difficult terrain. When a creature enters the wall for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a DEX save, taking 27 (6d8) piercing damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success.
Grow a grove, orchard, hedge ring, or cluster of trees in a 60-ft. radius centered on a point within range. The grove provides food, shade, concealment, climbing routes, and natural cover. It remains if the environment can sustain it.
A violent bloom erupts in a 30-ft. radius centered on a point within range. Creatures of your choice in the area must make a CON save, taking 36 (8d8) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success. On a failed save, a creature is poisoned until the end of its next turn.
When you restore hit points to a creature with a Botany power, it regains additional hit points equal to your proficiency bonus.

When a creature you can see within range is hit by an attack, conjure leaves, bark, and branches to intercept the blow. Reduce the triggering damage by 2d10 + your WIS modifier.
A toxic flower erupts in a 20-ft. radius centered on a point within range. Creatures of your choice in the area must make a CON save, taking 6d8 poison damage and becoming poisoned until the end of their next turn on a failed save, or half damage only on a success.
You gain resistance to poison damage and advantage on saving throws against poison and disease. While standing on natural ground or among living plants, you also have advantage on CON saving throws.
A dense field of thorns fills the emanation. Hostile creatures treat the area as difficult terrain. When a hostile creature moves more than 5 ft. within the area on a turn, it takes 3d8 piercing damage and must make a STR save or have its speed halved until the start of its next turn.
A renewing bloom follows your allies. Creatures of your choice in the emanation regain hit points equal to your WIS modifier at the start of each of their turns while they have at least 1 hit point.
Infect one creature within range with aggressive spores. The target must make a CON save, taking 5d10 poison damage and causing creatures of your choice within 5 ft. of it to take 2d6 poison damage at the start of their turns until your next turn on a failed save, or half damage only on a success.
While you are in natural terrain or within an area created by one of your Botany powers, you have advantage on Nature and Survival checks, and allies within 30 ft. gain a +2 bonus to saving throws.

A colossal knot of roots traps one creature within range.

While restrained this way, it takes 4d8 piercing damage at the start of each of its turns and repeats the save at the end of each turn.
Create a sustained grove of living plants in the emanation. Creatures of your choice regain hit points equal to your WIS modifier at the start of each of their turns while in the grove. Hostile creatures treat the area as difficult terrain and spend 2 ft. of movement for every 1 ft. moved.
Create up to six luminous fruits infused with worldroot vitality. A creature can eat one fruit as an action to regain 120 hit points, end blinded, deafened, paralyzed, poisoned, stunned, and one disease affecting it, and gain enough nourishment and water for one week. A creature can benefit from only one World Tree Fruit per long rest.
Roots, vines, moss, and living plants overtake the emanation. Hostile creatures treat the area as difficult terrain.
