The character changes a specially prepared quarterstaff into a Huge treantlike creature, about 24 feet tall. When the character concludes the casting of the spell, the character's staff turns into a creature that looks and fights just like a treant. The staff-treant defends the character and obeys any spoken commands. However, it is not a true treant; it cannot converse with actual treants or control trees. If the staff-treant is reduced to 0 hit points or less, it crumbles to powder and the staff is destroyed. Otherwise, the staff can be used as the focus for another casting of the spell. The staff-treant is always at full strength when created, despite any wounds it may have suffered the last time it appeared.
Focus: The quarterstaff, which must be specially prepared. Preparing the staff takes 28 days. The character cannot adventure or engage in other strenuous activity during the preparation period.
