Sorcerous Origin
Verdant Lord
These sorcerers channel the untamed power of nature, embodying the essence of plant life and verdant growth. With green-hued skin or vine-like hair, they command flora to flourish and bend to their will.
Verdant manifestation spells
Plant Magic
If you expend sorcery points to cast a spell from the verdant manifestation spell list, thick vines and plants grow around you. A number of 5-foot squares on the ground equal to the level of the spell becomes difficult terrain. You must place each of these 5-foot squares in a space adjacent to yourself, or adjacent to another of these overgrown squares that is connected to a square you are adjacent to. Each 5-foot-diameter portion of the area requires at least 1 minute to clear by hand.
If you replace a spell from you manifestation spell list, the new spell must be a necromancy or transmutation spell from the primal spell list.
Command Plants
At 10th level, you can as a bonus action force a creature inside an area of difficult terrain created by plants or magical plants to make a Dexterity saving throw or take 2d8 piercing or poison damage (your choice).
Further, your connection with the natural world makes you immune to poison damage and you learn the regrow spell and add it to your verdant manifestation spell list. When you cast this spell on yourself, you benefit from the spell as if you were a plant creature.
Nature’s Embrace
Beginning at 14th level, you can use a bonus action to draw on the powers of plants around you. When you use this ability plants grow around you and merge with your form.
When you use this ability, you can replace your statistics with the verdant form template below. For all purposes, this ability uses the rules for wild shape as described in the druid section. Except you can still use all your verdant manifestation features while transformed and the transformation lasts up to 10 minutes or until you have lost all temporary hit points.
Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you spend 5 sorcery points to use it again.
