PublicationPathfinder #216: The Acropolis Pyre

This expertly trimmed olive branch remains lush and vibrant, even months after being ritually harvested. With a little soil and patience, it can quickly grow into a sheltering tree that later bestows the user with a new gift of olives.

Activate—Sew the Cutting 2 (healing, manipulate, plant)

Requirements You are outside and standing atop an unoccupied 5-foot square with some soil

Frequency once per day


Effect You drive one end of the cutting into the soil. The cutting immediately grows into an olive tree whose boughs shelter a 15-foot-diameter area. Creatures in the sheltered area gain resistance 3 to any environmental damage, gain a +1 status bonus to saving throws against environmental hazards, and gain a +1 status bonus to Survival checks to Subsist. After 10 minutes, the tree sprouts 8 olives, each of which can be eaten as an action to restore 1 Hit Point and nourish the eater as if they had consumed a full meal. After 8 hours, the olives lose their potency, and the gift of olives cutting detaches from the tree and falls harmlessly to the ground. The olive tree loses its protective abilities and becomes a normal, non-magical olive tree that survives so long as it's growing in a suitable location.


Trait Effects

Magical: Something with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.

Plant: Vegetable creatures have the plant trait. They are distinct from normal plants. Magical effects with this trait manipulate or conjure plants or plant matter in some way. Effects that manipulate plants have no effect in an area with no plants.
