Amidst sacred groves and holy forests, there exists a special order of clerics known as the Verdant Sages. These devout followers of nature draw their power from the wilderness and channel such energy through the use of aromatic herbs. Unlike typical clerics, Verdant Sages are granted power by a number of gods with the intention of maintaining the balance of nature, rather than worshiping and obeying a single deity. Known as 'Worshippers of Mother Nature,' Verdant Sages are often mistaken for druids and typically work very closely with them, further contributing to outsiders' misunderstandings. ##### Sage Domain Spells | Cleric Level | Spells | |:---:|:-----------:| | 1st | [Absorb Elements](http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:absorb-elements), [Entangle](http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:entangle) | | 3rd | [Barkskin](http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:barkskin), [Spike Growth](http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:spike-growth) | | 5th | [Plant Growth](http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:plant-growth), [Speak with Plants](http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:speak-with-plants) | | 7th | [Grasping Vine](http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:grasping-vine), [Guardian of Nature](http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:guardian-of-nature) | | 9th | [Commune with Nature](http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:commune-with-nature), [Wrath of Nature](http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:wrath-of-nature) | ### Blessings of the Sage At 1st level, you gain the ability to create Sagacious Incense.
