Using this technique, the user is able to merge with nature itself and travel through trees. This technique lasts as long as the user concentrates and even longer, but will instantly be dismissed if he enters a square with no tree. As a full-round action, the user can enter a tree and move through its roots towards other three. As long as he is within the tree, the user himself cannot be damaged, but suffers any point of damage the tree he is currently occupying would. He may travel through soft or firm ground at his standard movement rate as a full-round action, but cannot resurface until he reaches another tree. He may freely occupy the same square as a tree and attack feature with his standard range. He may also hide within a tree of his size or larger, making it absolutely impossible to spot him (creatures take a -20 penalty to spot checks.)
