Father

Powers and Abilities
In Chapter 6 she reveals that as a wood nymph, she exists in harmony with the world around her in a way that attuned simply can't. She goes onto explain that rather than using magick to accomplish specific goals the way attuned cast spells, wood nymphs let the natural energy of the world guide them through their days.Wood nymphs also don't have much in the way of offensive magick. This is because most of their magick has to do with nurturing, cultivating and healing.
 * Branching: In chapter 6, she explains to Your Character that it is her ability to extend her awareness into the trees around her, to see and and hear what they do. It's how she can tap into the discussions that are always happening in the natural world around us. She explains that she's been able to it for some time, and that while branching may look unsightly, it is natural nymph magick and there's nothing sinister about it. However, she calls it tricky magick because sometimes she is unable to prevent her sight from slipping away from her. Aster states that sometimes the trees want to show her things, so they draw her her into them so that she can see what they're seeing. It can be difficult to understand them at times, since they primarily communicate through sight and feelings. They rarely try to speak to her like they at the end of chapter 5 and in chapter 6, since she does not know their ancient language. She developed it this ability when she was only five years old.
