Druid: Circle of the Land
Original Source: Player's Handbook
Circle of the Land Spells
Your mystical connection to the land infuses you with the ability to cast certain spells. This connection grants you access to some spells when you reach certain levels in this class. Choose that land—arctic, coast, desert, forest, grassland, mountain, swamp, or Underdark—and consult the associated list of spells.
Once you gain access to one of these spells, you always have it prepared, and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. If you gain access to a spell that doesn't appear on the druid spell list, the spell is nonetheless a druid spell for you.

Mysteries of Nature
At 2nd level, your exploration of the depths of the woad has opened unexpected pathways before you. You learn an additional Secret of Nature.
At 6th level, you learn an additional Secret of Nature, and whenever you learn a new druid Secret of Nature or replace an existing one, you can choose from Cleric Signs of Faith or Ranger Exploration Knacks. Your Druid levels count as Cleric or Ranger levels for the purpose of fulfilling prerequisites.
Natural Recovery
Starting at 2nd level, you can regain some of your magical energy by sitting in meditation and communing with nature. Once per day when you finish a short rest, you may recover mana equal to your proficiency bonus + half your Druid levels, rounded up.
Nature's Ward
When you reach 10th level, you can't be charmed or frightened, and you are immune to disease. Additionally, you gain resistance to a damage type. This damage type depends on the terrain you chose at 2nd level.

Additionally, you have advantage on ability checks and saving throws made to navigate and avoid dangers within the terrain you chose at 2nd level.
Nature's Sanctuary
14th-level Circle of the Land feature
Nature can rise up to protect you and your allies. As a Magic action, you can expend a use of your Wild Shape and cause spectral trees and vines to appear in a 15-foot cube on ground within 120 feet of yourself. They last there for 1 minute or until you have the Incapacitated condition. You and your allies have Half Cover while in that area, and your allies gain the damage resistance of your Nature's Ward while there.
As a Bonus Action, you can move the cube up to 60 feet to ground within 120 feet of yourself.
