Circle of Scars
Druids of the Circle of Scars ritually imbue their bodies with magic that empowers them with the ancient magic of the wilds itself that has seeped into it over the ages. These druids gather in great groves to test their mastery of magic and strength against each other to further improve their control over the wild power that surges through their body. Their magic releases the wild's fury to protect their homes with fierce guardianship that few would dare to challenge.
As a member of this circle, your body may have scars from battle that channel your magic or tattoos whose symbolism can invoke the wild's powerful and wrathful will as your charge into battle with the fury of bear and swiftness of a wolf.

Wild's Rebuke
