Finnian's Flourishing Facial Foliage

3rd-level transmutation

When you cast Finnian's Flourishing Facial Foliage, you cause a lush, stately beard to grow on your face, regardless of your natural ability to grow facial hair. The beard reaches waist length and matches the color of your natural hair (or the color it would be if you were naturally hairless).

Once grown, the beard is real and permanent, behaving like normal hair in terms of texture and maintenance. It can be trimmed or styled as desired, but will not naturally grow longer than waist length nor will it fall out or diminish with age.

Finnian's Flourishing Facial Foliage is particularly popular among those who desire a distinguished and wise appearance often associated with wizards and sages, or for anyone who wishes to adopt a new, beard-accompanied persona.

Lore:

Finnian's Flourishing Facial Foliage was created by Finnian the Beardless, a wizard self-conscious about his inability to grow a traditional wizard's beard. Finnian admired the majestic beards of his peers and desired one for himself to complete his wizardly image.

Combining his knowledge of transmutation and hair growth, Finnian devised a spell that could grant him the beard he always wanted. His creation not only boosted his confidence but also became a celebrated spell among others who shared his desire for a grand beard.

The spell is a symbol of Finnian's creativity and his belief in the power of self-expression, showing that magic can be used to enhance personal appearance and confidence.
