* Wilderness Sense
The Devourer gains an immediate sense of the surrounding area, building a
map in her mind of the region's natural features, the plants and animals that
inhabit the place, as well as the location of any interlopers that the local
fauna consider a threat. Can be used in an urban environment too, though this
is more difficult. The 'map' extends for several miles around, and lasts in
the mind of the demon for around an hour.
Torment: Monstrous demons who perform this evocation transmit their murderous
nature to the surrounding area, causing the flora and fauna to react aggressively
to human trespassers, if possible.
** Quicken Growth
The Devourer can fuel rapid and unchecked growth in the local plant life.
Trees shoot skyward, vines swell, fissures spread through any object to which
they are rooted and briars envelop their surroundings. The plants remain overgrown
for a minute or so.
Torment: Monstrous demons cause a plant to grow and entwine any living beings
within reach, strangling or ripping them apart.
*** Command the Wild
The Devourer can direct the rapid growth of local plants by force of will,
affecting the environment in specific ways according to the demon's plan.
Plant growth can be directed at specific structures, ripping through the foundations
of the buildings with relative ease.
Torment: In addition to directing their growth, monstrous demons cause the
affected plants to become inimical to flesh and blood, sprouting needle-like
thorns and poisonous sap, meaning the Devourer may direct the growth at a
living target with painful consequences.
**** Possess Plant
The demon can take over the living essence of one or more plants, making them
extensions of his will. The plants move with supernatural speed and strength,
performing any action the Devourer desires. The plants must remain rooted
in place, and the effect lasts for up to an hour.
Torment: Monstrous Devourers spread the taint of their Torment through any
plants they control, destroying them from within and reducing them to lifeless
husks within minutes, thus cutting down the useful time that the evocation
may be used for.
***** Mutate Plant
The Devourer can manipulate a plant's composition and form at will, creating
new, specialized breeds according to her desires. Possible alterations include
increased metabolism (increasing speed of growth), thick bark, or tough skin
or thorns. These can be generated over a period of days, and last for several
days, though can be made permanent through willpower.
Torment: Monstrous demons who use this evocation create plant life with a
taste for blood. If they are not careful in the evocation, the plant's metabolism
mutates spontaneously, developing natural weapons that allow it to kill and
feed on living beings - including the demon herself.
