What this Current means in the world

Wood is the element of growth, structure, and patience. It was born when the first seed split the first stone. Wood governs ecosystems, cycles of birth and death, and physical resilience. Found in forests, overgrown ruins, and groves, it counters Fire’s destruction and harmonizes with Fungal for life-death balance. Wood creatures root themselves, grow rapidly, or control terrain. Their powers involve entanglement, regeneration, and bloom-based effects. In society, Wood is used in shelter, medicine, and tools. It teaches that strength can be slow, but unstoppable. Magic tied to Wood is seasonal, ritualistic, and steady. Its path is living, breathing, and sacred.
