This spell turns an oak tree into a protector or guardian. The spell can only be cast on a single tree at a time; while Liveoak is in effect, you can't cast it again on another tree. Liveoak must be cast on a healthy, Huge oak. A triggering phrase of up to one word per Caster Level is placed on the targeted oak. The Liveoak spell triggers the tree into animating as a Treant.

If Liveoak is dispelled, the tree takes root immediately wherever it happens to be. If released by you, the tree tries to return to its original location before taking root.
