Druidical spell acquisition explains how the druid character class acquires their collection of incantations and dweomers. Druidical magic operates by harnessing the essence of wild magic, channeling its power into spells that individuals have learned to create according to their level of experience. Once a spell is understood, it may be cast once per day — and then, once it's cast, it must be "relearned" through meditation.
Druids do not carry spellbooks. Instead, they achieve a spiritual connection with the natural world, a profound link beyond the scope of the ordinary five senses. The druid, in a manner challenging to articulate, attains a supernatural awareness of the flow of energy, the vitality of living beings, and the elements of water and earth — extending even to the heat and magma beneath the world's crust.
These potent forces are "tapped," or gathered, while the druid constructs the spell in his or her mind. As these forces exist everywhere, even outside the Prime Material, druids may regain their spells anywhere. Meditation requires 15 minutes per day, per level of the spell. Like other spellcasters, druids must maintain concentration when casting spells.
| Wisdom | Spell Bonus |
|---|---|
| 13 | 1st level |
| 14 | 1st level |
| 15 | 2nd level |
| 16 | 2nd level |
| 17 | 3rd level |
| 18 | 4th level |
Spell Bonus
The total number of spells a druid acquires is influenced by their wisdom, as outlined in the provided table. This spell count is cumulative, so that a character with a wisdom of 15, for instance, not only gains a bonus 2nd level spell but also acquires the bonus spells allocated to those with a wisdom of 13 and 14.
For example, if Lauren the Druid possesses a wisdom of 16, she would receive two bonus 1st level spells and two bonus 2nd level spells.
It's important to note that even though the character gains access to spells based on their wisdom, the actual acquisition of spells occurs when the character reaches an experience level that permits casting spells of that level. The Spell Acquisition table below illustrates that Lauren must attain the 2nd level of experience before obtaining her bonus 2nd level spells.
Bonus spells are supplementary to those indicated on the acquisition table. For instance, at 1st level, a druid typically gains two 1st level spells. Lauren, with her two bonus 1st level spells, would commence the campaign setting with a total of four 1st level spells.

Spell Acquisition Table
The acquisition table outlines the correct number of spells a druid should have, of each level of spell, at a given level of experience, not including the bonus spells described above. As shown, the base number for a 3rd level druid would have a minimum of three 1st level and two 2nd level spells.
As characters advance in experience levels, they need to assess their current spell collection according to the spell count shown. For example, when a druid progresses from 6th to 7th level, they can observe that they need to acquire one 2nd-level spell and one 3rd-level spell to reach the correct spell count for that experience level.
Druid Spell Tables
Here is a list of pages containing druid spells that the character can review and select from in assigning which incantations they wish to acquire:
The process of regaining these spells through meditation is akin to filling a bottle; once the spell is firmly entrenched in the caster's mind, it's as though a mental stopper is placed over the top of the bottle. Consequently, the spell's power remains contained within the druid until the metaphorical stopper is removed.
