Druids

The Druids  are a clan of humans who live deep within the forests of Britannia.

Overview
They are a forest dwelling people who worship the Goddess Clan while despising the Demon Clan, although Meliodas seems to be the exception. They are insular, living away from most other people. They are referred to as the philosophers and sorcerers of the forest. When a person dies, it is customary for them to guard the buried corpses to prevent any possession from evil spirits.

Appearance
Their appearance does not differ from normal humans, however a common, but not universal trait of theirs, is white or silver hair.

Powers and Abilities
The druids are said to be able to use the power of nature to heal grievous wounds that are considered fatal. They have many secret techniques although condemned the Acid power. These secret techniques include:


 * A secret druid technique that erases "abominable" souls, such a vampires and demons. It has also shown to be able to return human turned vampires back into human, albeit still killing them.
 * A forbidden technique passed among the druids. It gives Hendrickson the power to resurrect the dead, but can only be used twice on the same person. The soul deteriorates with each resurrection, significantly weakening their abilities.

Spells
Throughout the story, numerous seemingly unintelligible spells have been either taught to by or cast by a druid. These spells are actually transcribed by using anagrams of the original Japanese words that are used to compose the incantation.

Sealing Spell
Taught to Veronica Liones by Hendrickson and used to seal Meliodas in the Goddess Amber.

Awakening Spell
Used by Hendrickson to awaken the demon blood in the new generation Holy Knights.

An alternate version is used by Gloxinia and Drole to transfer King and Diane into their memories and relive their past.

Retrieval Spell
Used by Jenna to retrieve the Goddess Amber containing Meliodas's darkness.

Release Spell
Used by Jenna to release Meliodas's darkness from the Goddess Amber and return it to him.

Nerobasta Summoning Spell
