At the second level you gain a form of Nature the you can harness. Choose between on of the following.
Wildheart: You embrace your greater emotions within and can do so in different ways. See the subpage on Wildheart for details.
Wildshape:
You can use your action to magically assume the shape of a beast that you have seen before. Your level determines the challenge rating of the beasts you can take the form of. It is limited to CR 1/2 Your level + 1. You can stay in a beast shape for a number of hours equal to half your druid level (rounded down). You then revert to your normal form unless you expend another use of this feature. You can revert to your normal form earlier by using a bonus action on your turn. You automatically revert if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die. While you are transformed, the following rules apply:
Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the beast, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus in its stat block is higher than yours, use the creature's bonus instead of yours. If the creature has any legendary or lair actions, you can't use them.
You can't cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your beast form. Transforming doesn't break your concentration on a spell you've already cast, however, or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell, such as Call Lightning, that you've already cast.
You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so. However, you can't use any of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your new form also has that sense.
You choose whether your equipment merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the creature's shape and size. Your equipment doesn't change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can't wear must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.
Dispell: Is rejecting what is natural for short period. It is unlike both Wildheart and Wildshape where instead of harnessing nature and bringing its magic within. You send out what nature you have inside becoming volatile and forceful. When using dispell, you gain the following for a number of minutes equal to half your levels in the Naturalist class and this effect can not be ended early.
