​

Luminpetal​

Submitted by Cælum​

Habitat:
It grows naturally in colder climates but could conceivably grow anywhere so long as it's not too hot and kept out of direct sunlight.

Size:
The stem of the flower is fairly small, only a few feet high. The petals can grow to be several meters long/wide.

Biome Role:
The petals allow heat to pass through them quite easily while also offering protection against rain and snow. Creatures often use them as a form of shelter from the elements.

Life Cycle:
The flower only takes a couple seasons to grow to full size and will mostly stay the same after that. Seeds form every year around summertime.

Cultural Significance:
Luminpetals are considered aesthetically pleasing plants. It's not uncommon to see them as part of any wealthy person's garden or home décor. The petals have been used as fashion accessories or even as temporary clothing. It's a popular flower to bind with if one lives in the mountains or cold climates.

Description:
This flower absorbs light throughout the day and gives off a subtle glow of light at night that typically fades by dawn. It's widely regarded as a beautiful plant with many aesthetically pleasing and functional properties. It comes in a wide variety of shades of white, red, blue and yellow.

Harvesting:
CR3 to properly grow outside of its natural habitat, harvest, process into something usable.

Notable Features:

• Aesthetically pleasing, a status symbol.
• The petals are good at catching wind. They can be used as makeshift gliders to slow one's fall, or act as a temporary sail on a boat.
• It's not unheard of for a druid to sprout petals from their back and use floramancy to create 'petal wings' which can help them glide and maneuver while keeping their hands free (requires flying skill)

Flora Magic
Petal Flight​

Minor Merit: No

Challenge Rating: CR0

Abilities

100/100 XP Minor – Flight: While Luminpetal may be used as wings on their own, their Flora Magic may be invoked to heighten the speed of flight and even hover as the petals rustle to maintain an altitude. Additional flight speed is dependent on how much Saol is expended, and is added on top of one's natural speed of flight. The following lists the maximum speeds achievable with a cast at that tier of Saol, for a day of flight at that speed.

Novice: 5 ft/s
Apprentice: 10 ft/s
Journeyman: 20 ft/s
Expert: 35 ft/s
Master: 50 ft/s

Claera
Challenge Rating 5
Created by: Kage​

Description:
Claera is a clear, transluscent plant with crystal-like properties. It produces flowers that have a striking resemblance to gemstones. It is renowned for its sturdy properties and is incredibly expensive due to how rare it is. The crystals produced from it are much more brilliant and shiny than mundane crystal equivalents. Aelheim has a variety with special properties.

Cultural Significance:
Known as the jeweler's plant, it is something often grown or sourced by master jewelry crafters. It can be cross bred to produce crystals of a variety of colors, allowing it to mimic rubies, sapphires, etc. with enough time and patience. Aelheim's variety has a special property only visible with lifesight. When someone with the ability sees something crafted from the plant, they usually double take to see if there is some important detail they missed.

Habitat:
Grows in caves

Size:
Grows to be one foot tall.

Biome Role:
It's thought that the plant absorbs magic from the ground and converts it into its brilliant crystals. Some animals feed on the crystals.

Life Cycle:
The plant will grow from seed into a 1' tall plant in a couple months. From there, it will grow crystals that can become up to the size of a fist over ten years, though these are typically harvested well before then.

Resources:
Gemstone equivalents - 1.5x the hardness of steel and cannot be manipulated by terrari.
Invisible Ink - Only available with the Aelheim variant. The center of the crystals contain a clear liquid that can be used as invisible ink. Only those with lifesight can see this ink.

Notable Features:

• Variable Color
  
  • Each Florabind of Clæra is a static color, and as such, that which grows from the body of a Druid will blossom as the baseline color to which they were bound. However, Druids may cross-breed it in conjunction with other flora in order to change the color of the crystals (this must obey general pigment color mixing rules).
• Translucency
  
  • Druids may produce this flora in conjunction with other flora in order to make them translucent.
