[1] Description
-----------------------------
This module adds a new mage class specialization called Beastmaster that allows the summoning of animal companions and some spirits to help you in battle.

This mod is part of the small project Druid Expansion whose purpose is to add more immersion for a druid like roleplay through specializations and unique objects.

There are 6 spells in total, 5 for different creature summoning and 1 to enhance them.

The specialization is immediately available after the "Last of the Wardens" achievement and grants +2 Willpower and +5 Nature resistance.

Moreover there are two items that fit for the druidic and dalish origin of the specialization, the Robes of the Keeper and the Druid Blessing.
You can find the Robes of the Keeper in the last Sarcophagus after the final battle of Nature of the Beast.
The Druid Blessing is automatically added to inventory after you complete the Elora's Halla quest, healing the Halla and reloading the area.

Actually the Robes of the Keeper is only available for male characters.

You can also type 'runscript give_drdhdw' in the console to add both items in your inventory.

OPTIONAL: permanent summons optional files, it should work well, contact me if you find bugs.
