You can verbally communicate with natural organisms for the duration. This allows beasts to answer questions you pose; at minimum, beasts can inform you about whatever they can perceive or have perceived within the past day, including nearby locations and monsters. The knowledge, awareness, and personality of many beasts is limited by their intelligence, but you may deceive, intimidate, persuade, or otherwise influence a beast at the DM's discretion. An organism is under no compulsion to answer (or answer truthfully) if you are hostile to it or it recognizes you as an enemy.

At higher levels: When you cast this spell 2nd level or higher, you imbue plants with limited sentience, allowing you to communicate with them like beasts. When you cast this spell 3rd level or higher, you imbue plants with limited animation, allowing them to freely move branches, tendrils, and stalks. You can command plants to release a restrained creature, to turn ordinary terrain into difficult terrain (or the opposite), or to perform other tasks at the DM's discretion.

Available for: Bard, Druid, Ranger
