Druid
Druids do not fit comfortably inside Auralian magical categories. To many citizens, a druid is not a “nature wizard.” A druid is something older, stranger, and less easily measured.

How Aeloria understands this class
Most mortal scholars know very little about druidic practice. They may describe it as old forest tradition, rural miracle-work, elven memory, green magic, or superstition that refuses to become a diagram. Druids themselves usually care less about categories than about balance, growth, hunger, death, renewal, and place.
Practice and power
Druidic power is associated with life, growth, decay, weather, beasts, plants, soil, blood, and breath. Player-facing traditions describe it as a living green power that Scholarium Aether theory explains poorly, if at all.
At the Grand Scholarium
At the Grand Scholarium, druids are most at home near the Aether-Botanical Glasshouses, but even there they can feel like outsiders. The university studies altered plants as specimens; druids tend to treat the living world as a relationship.
