This spell causes one tree seed or seedling per level of the priest to be specially blessed by the priest's god. When the spell is cast upon a seed or seedling and planted in the ground, it will immediately start to grow at an astonishing rate. It will grow to a total height of 2 feet + 1 foot per level of the priest in the period of one turn. A tree thus "blessed" by this spell will grow to be a large, healthy tree, highly resistant to both parasites and disease, and will have a much longer lifespan than ordinary trees of its type.
The reverse of this spell, tree shrink, causes one tree to be reduced in height by the above amount. If this is cast upon an enchanted or intelligent tree, it gets a saving throw versus spell. If the tree saves, there is no effect. If the tree fails, then the tree is reduced in Hit Dice by the level of the priest.
The spell can be cast in two ways. The first way takes 1 round per seed or seedling to cast and be planted. The other way takes 1 round per seed or seedling to cast, initially. The spell is then finished at a later time by completing the final gestures (again, this costs 1 round per seed or seedling) and then planting the seeds or seedlings. There is no limit to the time in between the original casting and completion in this variation. Anybody can perform the final gestures needed to complete this spell.
The seeds or seedlings are most commonly used for gifts or reforestation projects as needed. The trees around a priest grove tend to be of this type.
