DESCRIPTION

You give the forest a dark and sinister air as you animate nearby trees to attack living creatures in the area. Animated trees have the same statistics as treants and fight as such in all respects but cannot animate other trees. You animate 1d4 + 1/4 caster level treants with this spell. While they do not attack you, the animated trees are not under your control and aggressively attack all other living creatures in the area (including Medium or larger animals).

The dark and angry powers you use to animate these trees gives the whole area a sinister feel that all animals flee from immediately. Intelligent creatures with less than 4 HD flee as if affected by a fear spell with no saving throw while creatures with 5–8 HD can make a Will save against the fear effect. Creatures above 8 HD are immune to the fear effect.
