### Circle of the Seasons
From the intense passion of Summer, the withering decay of Autumn follows in its wake, soon met by the elusive respite of Winter, only for life to blossom back in Spring. And so the process repeats, over and over.
Druids of the Circle of the Seasons revere this constant cycle, calling upon the land's myriad phases to instil their magic with a similar changeability and adapt to any situation at hand.
| Druid Level | Features |
|:-----------:|:---------------------------------|
| 2nd | Call Summer/Autumn/Winter/Spring |
| 6th | Blessings of the Cycle |
| 10th | Call Solstice/Call Equinox |
| 14th | Hidden Star in Four Seasons |
#### Call Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring
*2nd-level Circle of the Seasons feature*
___
As an action, you can expend a use of your Wild Shape feature to Call the essence of one of the seasons through yourself, temporarily harnessing its power.
Calling a season grants you access to its respective spells on the Seasonal Spells table below, along with an additional druid cantrip of your choice. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
This transformation lasts for 8 hours. It ends early if you dismiss it (no action required), are incapacitated, die, or use this feature again.
#### Blessings of the Cycle
*6th-level Circle of the Seasons feature*
___
You take on an additional aspect of the season you Call, granting you a special boon while transformed by it:
***Summer's Assault.*** Once per turn, when you deal damage to a creature with a spell, you can add your proficiency bonus to the damage dealt to that creature.
***Autumn's Decline.*** Whenever a creature fails a saving throw against one of your spells, you can reduce its speed by 10 feet until the end of its next turn.
***Winter's Protection.*** You gain proficiency in Constitution saving throws, or +2 to your Constitution saving throws if you are already proficient in it.
***Spring's Resurgence.*** Whenever you cast a spell of 1st level or higher, you can cause a creature of your choice within 30 feet of you to gain temporary hit points equal to your proficiency bonus plus the spell's level. If it has 0 hit points, it also regains 1 hit point.
#### Call Solstice, Call Equinox
*10th-level Circle of the Seasons feature*
___
You can expend two uses of your Wild Shape feature to Call two seasons at once, tapping into the boundary where one transitions to the other to channel both of their strengths. The two seasons must be adjacent to each other. For example, you can't Call Summer and Winter together, or Autumn and Spring.
#### Hidden Star in Four Seasons
*14th-level Circle of the Seasons feature*
___
Drawing upon the seasons becomes effortless to you, letting you Call them as a bonus action. Additionally, for every use of Wild Shape you expend per Call, you can cast a 2nd-level or lower spell from your available Seasonal Spells without expending a spell slot.
