Reskinning creachers for my dnd character Cyphe to summon. She’s a necromancer for plants Paleobotanist! I’ve redone her spells with some botany flavor except the conjure/summon ones.

My methods: buy manual on trees and shrubs w 10,000 species. Read through all the A’s. Pick some cool ones, turn ecology into character notes. I need to mod these a bit with my dm.

More pictures from Mt. St. Helens: 1,2. The mountain. 3. Johnston Ridge, which took the brunt of the 1980 eruption, is covered in small scrub brush and wildflowers, such as these castilleja miniata (scarlet Indian paintbrush). 4. Because the mountain is so big, you can walk from one end of the Johnston Ridge Obseratory to the other and your view of the mountain never changes. To get a slightly different perspective, you have to hike about 5 miles to Harry's Ridge, seen here overlooking Spirit Lake (right), with Mt. Adams in the background. (We didn't do that on our trip. Another time.) 5. These mounds are called hummocks. They're giants lumps of the pre-eruption mountain that collapsed in the landslide, and were deposited here. 6. Rocks like this one litter the ridge; the marbling is a giveaway that they also came from the volcano. They were blasted out when it exploded after the landslide, and were carried here by the pyroclastic density current (pyroclastic clouds). 7. Stumps like this, and the log in 6, are from trees that were blown down in the eruption. 8. This compass rose at the end of the walking path points out other interesting things you can see from Johnston Ridge. 9. The North Fork Toutle River Valley was flooded by a lahar, a sort of volcanic tsunami, during the 1980 eruption. It drastically affected the river and carried deposits of ash and sediment miles downstream. Those deposits are one of the first things you notice on the drive to the mountain. 10. Mt. St. Helens, seen from the Forest Learning Center on Rt. 504. #mtsthelens #mtsthelensnationalvolcanicmonument #johnstonridgeobservatory #volcano #hummocks #mtadams #spiritlake #northforktoutleriver #volcanicash #mtsthelensforestlearningcenter (at Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument)
