   Syntax: cast 'greater boar'
           cast 'greater wolf'
           cast orangoutang

   Druid's who have dedicated themselves to a single animal gain the power
   to shapechange into that creature with great ease. Each animal has its
   own skills and advantages, and all are maintainable without the use of
   mana beyond that required to perform the shapeshift.

   Unlike most shapeshifted forms the major druid animals allow spells to be
   cast by the druid, although only upon him or herself. Druidic powers such
   as healing, cures and armoring spells  can all be used whilst shapeshifted.
   Minor druid animals, learned through studying all animals equally, do not
   have the ability to cast spells.

unless I am missing something, I do not think druids can cast ANY armoring spells (spells that impact armor) while shapeshifted:

< ESW> where
Players near you:
(PK) A savage grey wolf On a muddy knoll in the moors

< ESW> c carap
You don't know any spells of that name.

< ESW> bark
You do not know how to turn your skin to bark.

< ESW> c thorns
You don't know any spells of that name.

< ESW> c 'nature blessing'
You don't know any spells of that name.

Druids can cast cures and resistance spells, but not armoring.  By the way, I posted this here, as I believe it is a problem with the Help description, not a problem with capability of druids, but that could be changed too, I suppose... ;)

Help file updated at next changes.
Anyone who is druid, please check the help file after the changes (change note will be posted in solace), and make sure everything looks correct.
Thanks.
