Nature magic is the school of life, the elements and the primal power of Azeroth. It unites healing and growth, the fury of lightning and storm, and the cunning of poison. It is the magic of balance, drawn upon by those who take their strength from the world itself.

The power of the living world

Nature is the breath of Azeroth itself. Its heart is the Emerald Dream, a green mirror of the world, and its guardian is the demigod Cenarius, son of the Ancients. Through nature magic, mortals speak with the spirits of earth, water and air, and with life itself. This school is twofold: the same power that grows forests and mends wounds can strike lightning from a clear sky or pour deadly venom into a foe's blood. Nature is neither good nor evil — it answers those who have earned its trust.

Wielders of nature magic

The chief masters of the school are druids and shamans. Druids grow and heal, shift into beasts and draw power from the Emerald Dream. Shamans command lightning and the elements through Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning. Poison damage also belongs to the nature school — for example, that of hunters and rogues.

Nature in Vanilla raids

The nature threat waits in Ahn'Qiraj: Princess Huhuran showers the raid with poison shots of the nature school. Against her you need nature-resistant gear that reduces poison and nature damage. That makes nature resistance an important part of preparing for the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj.

Nature resistance

Nature resistance weakens damage from poison, lightning and nature magic. Its mechanics are covered in the article on resistance, and the armor choices in the guide to nature-resistant gear. It is valued above all by the raiders of Ahn'Qiraj.
