Gives some limited motility to nearby trees, allowing them to sway their branches and shift their roots. Such enchanted trees will lash at any adjacent enemy. • Hel: [She died to] Infection! She's mine! — Thor: From a splinter that she got bravely fighting an elm! • Hel: Trees are inanimate plants, you buffoon! — Thor: Bravery knows no limits! -Rich Burlew, _Order of the Stick_, #874.

Awaken Forest is a monster-only spell which angers all trees in line of sight. When the caster's foes are adjacent to a tree, they'll take irresistible damage. The damage from Awaken Forest checks both AC and EV. The first cast of Awaken Forest takes priority - e.g. if a friendly dryad uses Awaken Forest, hostile monsters can't turn the trees against you.

Damage from the trees depends on the monster's HD. When a spriggan druid casts Awaken Forest, its trees deal 11-22 damage (per 1.0 decaAut). The strength of a dryad's Awaken Forest depends on the spellpower of the Summon Forest it was created from.

Caster awakens forest in your LOS: "The forest starts to sway and rumble!"
