Effect: By means of this spell, the shukenja can hasten the growth of any one plant (or plant-like creature), causing it to leaf, blossom, and bear fruit out of season.

The spell does not alter the size or characteristics of the
plant except as a function of normal growth. The rate of growth can be altered by up to one month for every two
levels of the caster. Once cast, the plant continues to follow this cycle, regardless of weather or other conditions.

Thus, cherry trees can be made to blossom in the dead of winter, plums can bear fruit months before they are normally ready, etc.
When first cast, the plant instantly goes through the various stages of growth until the desired point is reached.
Thus leaves sprout, buds appear, blossoms open, and fruit ripens before the eyes of all onlookers.
Once the desired stage of growth is reached, the plant proceeds with normal growth thereafter, maintaining its new seasonal cycle.

Wither: The reverse of this spell, wither, causes plants and plant-like creatures to shrivel and die. For normal
plants, this is automatic. However, plant-like creatures are allowed a saving throw versus death to avoid the
effect of the spell.

MC: The shukenja's staff.
