Agrokinesis

Agrokinesis works on all plants as well as fungi, Algae, and Coral. Its skills are typically broken up into three categories.  

Growth Enhancement

This class of Agrokinesis is the most basic, directing the growth rate, strength, and shape of the targeted plant.   These skills will alter the growth of the plant in question but must still follow the basic patterns of that plant. Coral can be made to grow faster than usual but will still grow fairly slowly, while trees can be grown to much larger sizes but need to be able to support their own weight.   The plant must also continue to access the resources it requires for its altered state or it will die. For this reason most instructors stress the importance of root health and mass to their students, emphasizing the need to alter the roots as needed while using magical growth enhancements.  

Plant Health

A more advanced offshoot of growth enhancement, spells related to plant health encourage plant repair. They can also alter the growth rate of a plant to adjust for available nutrients and even change growth patterns to encourage the plant to expand in ways beneficial to its growth. This can also be used as a primitive form of Curative Magic.  

Genetics

Agrokinesis genetics focus on altering the genetic makeup of a plant. These alterations can be made temporary or permanent, affecting all or only part of the plant, and unique to the plant itself or able to be passed genetically to its offspring. Alterations could be used to change coloration, growth rate, disease or bug resistance, flavoring, resource requirements, and even alchemical properties including the potency or effects of poisons or curatives obtained from the plant.
