Traits

certain spells and effects function differently against feyward trees:

a magical attack that deals lightning damage breaks any slow effect on the feyward tree and heals 1 hit point for each 3 damage the attack would otherwise deal. If the amount of healing would cause the tree to exceed its full normal hp, it gains any excess as temporary hp. The tree gets no saving throw against lightning effects.

The feyward tree is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form.

Magic Resistance

A feyward tree has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
