Oh, man, a Spirit of the Great Rift is interesting.
Is that druid going to be thri-kreen? Is that druid going to object to masses of thri-kreen moving through their protected lands, no doubt eating tons of the local wildlife?

Hmmm. My first question is, is the Great Riftâs spirit ready to have a druid yet?
But how do new spirits form anyway? Is it like budding/fission - when something like the Great Rift forms, the spirit of the land it formed from âbuds offâ a new spirit of the land to inhabit the Great Rift? If so, the new spirit might appear relatively âcompleteâ and be ready to have a druid pretty fast.
Or is it more like a process of âcrystallizationâ or cloud formation, where life energy and magic that is sort of floating around in the land and the ecosystem slowly coalesces and develops into a spirit of the land, independent of the presence of other spirits of the land in the area? In that case, whatever âproto spiritâ is there may not be coherent or individualized enough to form a bond, or powerful enough to grant magic.
Or is the whole â30th level druids melding into a spirit of the landâ from Earth, Air, Fire & Water a critical part of the process? Does a neighboring spirit of the land need a 30th level druid to meld in to expand to a new feature / bud off a new spirit for that feature? In that case, there might be nothing there yet for the Great Rift.

What element does the rift count as? Air? After all, a rift is literally an absence of earthâŚ
A windy canyon is given as an example of a guarded land that could give druids Air sphere spells, so that seems reasonable.
