Notes:

  1. Turns dead wood into Snakes of a specified species or vice-versa.  Any Being that counts as a Snake may potentially be turned into a Stick (e.g. Snake Demons, Giant Snakes, Druids Shapechanged into Snakes).  Shapechanged Druids have their true HP.
  2. Caster may specify species of snake or wood to be created.  Created wood cannot be used as Druidic Media (e.g. holly or privet), as it is still truly a snake, and vice-versa.
  3. Magical wood (e.g. magic weapons) and real snakes or other potentially affected Beings get a st.  For Snake Swarms, make 1 st per SwL.
  4. Size of Sticks determines size of Snakes created and vice-versa.  Must specify a snake that naturally occurs of that size to create a Swarm.  If use larger Sticks, will create a Giant Snake(s).
  5. Snakes will attack other Beings within Radius when created as either Snake Swarm Attack or Giant Snake(s), as applicable, but will not necessarily seek out and attack other targets, unless Snake Charmed to do so.
