Druid

**Druid** (森祭司(ドルイド)) is a job class that hailed originally from YGGDRASIL.

## Background

By YGGDRASIL standard, Druids are Magic Casters that belong in the divine type. Hence, they could perform divine magic spells that is befitting for this class. Druids are regarded as the kind of magic casters that harness nature’s power to aid them in battle.

In the Re-Estize Kingdom, the level of knowledge in druid magic was not part of conventional education. For that reason, it wasn’t taught even in noble families. This fact also applied to families of royalty as well. The only reason Prince Zanac knew about druids was because he had actively sought out that information.

## Abilities and Powers

Druids are known to cast buffs on their allies, but along with debuffs on their enemies. They also have healing spells and magic that controls nature at their disposal. A druid can demonstrate their true ability in the forest. They possess knowledge over herbal lore and the skills pertaining to herbs and the like.

Similar to priests but to a higher degree, druids can predict upcoming danger by forecasting the weather or aiding their environment with curative magic. They can use druid-type spells to conjure foods such as fruits. On the other hand, they have spells that can temporarily enchant weapons with their magic.

According to Renner, high-level druids have the ability to skillfully control the weather, manipulating it to their advantage when dealing with issues regarding sunlight, droughts, cold snaps and so on. For example, those powerful druids can cast spells to create temporary rain, so droughts could be dealt with.

However, according to Marquis Raeven, druid magic was said to be powerless against cold snaps. To take care of a cold snap, the weather must be maintained throughout the entire season. To that end, a high-level druid must be assigned to each village. It was simply not realistic to gather a few hundred high-level druids, which were already rare to begin with.

Elven druids had an exclusive form of specialized power that allowed them to create elf trees and also used the same form of magic to make weapons and clothes.
