A druid’s greatest power is to command the forest itself. No other spell proves the truth of this in as direct a manner.

When you finish casting this spell, you enter a deep trance and you awaken all the trees and plants within 1,000 feet of you. These plants rise up under your control and act on your initiative. Although you are in a trance, you command your awakened army, ordering them to advance, attack, or retreat. Trees and plants within the radius of the spell become awakened trees and shrubs. Trees over 1,000 years old awaken as treants. In a heavily forested area, this spell awakens one thousand trees and two thousand shrubs. In a lightly forested area, this spell awakens one-quarter that number of plants.

If you take any action other than continuing to concentrate on this spell, the spell ends immediately and the trees and plants set down roots wherever they may be currently located.
