Sidhelien's Defense allows an elven mage to cause the natural plant and animal life of one or more provinces to show life and actively move in defense of an elven nation. forest province. Once cast, the plants, animals, and mythical creatures of the forest will join together to form units of magical defenders. Treants, animated trees, animals, birds, grasses, insects, vines, pegasus, and other creatures will put aside any differences the races may have with one another to obey the wishes of the caster. A lightly forested province can muster a maximum of 10 units while a heavily forested porvince can muster a maximum of 20 units.

Once the provinces have been awakened, the Sidhelien's Defendors can act to battle invaders. Much like levies, if they die in a province that they were not mustered in the muster province suffers 4 devastation points (Taline, Player's Secrets of page.24) After a total of twenty devestation points the province source potential drops by one.

An awakened forest unit has the following war card statistics:

Full: Move=1; Defense=7; Morale =pennant, shield, and sword; Melee=7; Missile=3
Awakened forest units ignore all Fallback or Rout results unless they are caused by magic.

One Hit: Melee= 5
Two Hits: Melee= 3; Missile: 2
Three Hits:Melee= 1; Missile: 1.

This spell must be powered by a level five source holding in the province in which it is cast. The spell energy may then be used in the province of casting and it can also be channeled to any province that has a connected ley line. The destination province or provinces of this spell must be of a level 2 source rating or higher to draw the energy of this spell. If a regent has ley lines connecting from the casting province and also to the destination province(s) then he need not be present as his spell energy will travel through the ley line awakening the natural source value for use of this spell. In this way a sidhelien kingdom may summon it's forest's protector's in many provinces at once if each individual province meets the required source rating.
