Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: Neg.

 As a preserver is avidly against defiling, the typical preserver, after sufficient experience, will realize what causes defiling, and why preserver spells don't defile. As such, he can learn to use this knowledge for his own good.

 This spell may emulate any cantrip-like effect, the energy for the spell being drained from a specific plant source. The spell can be used for two specific purposes - any other use is strictly prohibited to one who wishes to preserve the land.

 1) To kill a Carnivorous plant that is threatening. Because of the selective nature, the preserver can drain the plant's life without affecting the non-hostile plants around it, and will thus leave the soil nutreint rich.

  2) To neutralize organic poisons. Organic poisons, since they are made from the basic elements of life, are also affected by defiling spells, but only if specifically targeted. Note that with this use, another spell effect should not be allowed.

  Any other use of this spell condemns the wizard to the penalties normally  associated with a preserver casting a defiling spell.
