Druidic wickercraft is a combination of totemic magic and herbal knowledge.
Using bundles of gathered sticks, druids can create useful items, such
as baskets for gathering herbs and switches for punishing unruly children.

By incorporating herbs near or above his level and a special effort of
will, a druid can expend mana and weave a wreath or garland. These special
headpieces and necklaces area suffused with nature magic. This is gradually
released upon the wearer, granting them increased magical potency and
whatever properties the wood may possess, until it is expended and the
piece crumbles.

Druidic wreaths and garlands can usually be rune-carved for additional
benefits.

A handful of other totemic items can also be fashioned from wicker,
including besoms, cornucopias and dreamcatchers, which serve as single
use wands.

Druidic dreamcatchers incorporate freshly plucked feathers instead of
herbs.

Wicker effigies are special druidic totems which can be used to hex and
confound foes. They are difficult to store and dangerous to make, but
their potent magic is especially useful for lowering the damage of
enemies. In addition, if the caster is present at the death of the target,
part of the hex's energy returns to them, restoring mana and movement.

A variant effigy, known as a poppet, can also be created. Instead of
hexing, it enhances the health, stamina and mana of the target.

The potency of a wickercraft magical item can be increased by using higher
level herbs in the construction.

Please note that not all herbs are suitable for use with wickercraft.
Ones that have been heavily processed or packaged are often deficient in
the natural energies necessary for the magic to work.
