The Mossen Craft Spellcasting:
City Druids cast spells as clerics but casting a spell requires the expenditure of reagents. See The Mossen Craft spell  list for details on spells and reagents.

Spellbook:
City druids know all spells for the levels that they can cast as long as they are able to meet once per week with other City Druids in a suitable overgrown location. Limitations will be placed on a City Druid that cannot meet this requirement at the GM's discretion.
