Dryad's Blessing/Bane

Info
The Dryad's Blessing/Bane are incredibly useful debuffs that damage monster health, and increase you defense. The Blessing is cast by the Dryad when a monster is close to you, and you are close to her. The Bane is cast when a monster is close to her in any way, as long as the leaf circle she casts in on-screen. Placing the Dryad's house nearby a bossfight or an invasion is highly recommended, as it will give you an advantage. This is especially for Expert and Master mode users, as the Blessing and Bane's effects are increased.
