Dryad Pollen
The flowers that grow on Dryad's follow a growth cycle separate from their host. With painstaking effort the pollen of those flowers can be harvested for use in powerful magics.
Unfortunately the pollen harvested from Dryad flowers only keeps its potency for a few days at a time, making it difficult to collect. There are some who think the mood of the Dryad also has tremendous impact on the ease at which the pollen can be collected, though there is considerable debate over which emotion is the best for spurring the creation of more pollen.

Ritual Components
There are a wide variety of ritual components. Basic ritual components are any component from the seven school of magic. These are the most commonly used ones for standard game rituals. Other components are known as special ritual components. Special ritual components, such as Dragon's Blood or Ghost Stones, cannot ever be replaced by other items or powers, you must use the exact item called for. Generally special ritual components are required for custom plots or very rare rituals.
To recognize ritual components requires the identify magic skill. Ritual components are consumed when used to perform a ritual.
Potions and scrolls of spells from the same school can be used to replace a ritual component, counting as the school the items come from.
The quantity of items required to count as a single ritual component is based on the following chart:
| Level of potion or scroll | Quantity |
|---|---|
| 1 | 10 potions or scrolls of the same school |
| 2 | 8 potions or scrolls of the same school |
| 3 | 6 potions or scrolls of the same school |
| 4 | 4 potions or scrolls of the same school |
| 5 | 2 potions or scrolls of the same school |
