Well, you can replace him with a little time and energy. Go to your Sacred Grove, and select that tree that you've spent most of your time sleeping under. Use your Magical Lineage Empowered Maximized Awaken and have a collosal casting tree friend with massive hps and strength, dexterity, and constitution. Plus its wisdom, intelligence, and charisma are all 27, any extra points you want to give it for every. 4 HD. Then have your tree sit on the wizard.

And then you have the problem in that your new wizard is slow, thinks a really long time over trivial decisions has a "thing" about fire and axes and never shuts up. EVER.

Very cute. The idea of a tree-wizard is quite funny, and pretty awesome (and you wouldn't lose out on that many caster levels based on nonassociated class levels, so only about 2 lost caster levels). The thing that amuses me the most about this, however, is the prospect of putting magic items on the tree. Everday would be Christmas with your tree around (with its branches decorated with magic rings, amulets, cloaks, with the trunk wrapped in brightly colored robes...). ^-^

That is not all, You could also have your house built into boughs of the tree, so as your party travels you can call down to them as your enjoying a good book reading a latte.
I don't get it :-). Why would an awakened tree become a caster?

Well since he's smarter, wittier, and more charismatic than the druid why shouldn't he show him how it's done?
Actually, the ultimate awakening is of a banyan tree. Best given Monk levels, really. Perhaps with a level of Shadowdancer so it can hide in plain sight.
>sigh<
If you've never seen a banyan tree, well... it has an aerial root system, and grows into "hallways" and "chambers" even as an unawakened lump of lumber.
An awakened one gets to move, reshaping itself on the fly (or crawl, as the case may be).
Amphibious "armored" personnel carrier. Self-rowing galley, with ram prow. Stone wall-chewing assault tower.
Better than a catapult -- can chuck stones all day long, with better accuracy than your average expert siege assault team...
>sigh<

Does it have to be a tree? Can't I do the same thing with a squirrel?
Does it have to be a wizard? What about a Witch or a Magus?
Dang. Now I want an awakened magus squirrel riding an awakened oak tree that it has a love hate relationship with. After all, he would only love the tree for its nuts.

The only difficult choice you would have to make is which would you awaken first? Because the first one stops being your minion, but may still be friendly to you.
Definately the squirrel first. Get him attached to the tree with a nest and nut storage. Then he will just follow the tree around.
Hehe good thought.
OK so you awaken a sapling , then the sapling takes levels in druid, and the tree awakens another tree and so on and so on. After a few years you can have a whole forest fully devoted to you, as long as each of the new awakened trees don't awaken more than one!
Imagine a haunted Forest where all the trees had dire tiger animal companions. All under reign of one Emperor Druid.
I guess the druids name would be Tom Bombadill.
OK, should have said, "...ultimate VEGETABLE awakening" is banyan tree.
For animal life, hmmn...
I think my vote goes for something primate. Spider monkey? Gorilla? Baboon? Baboon. Yes, a baboon.
"Monkeymon digivolve to... MANDRILLMON!"
:)
Now I have this image of a baboon with a top hat and monicle casting spells and flinging poo while trying to imtimidate foes with a red hinny.
Would that be intimidate or taunt :)

"That fireball smelled funny."
"Ah yes. I find bat guano so gauche, so I tinkered with the spell a little. It takes more guano, but is so much more immediately available..."

I imagine the Elven forests do a lot of this. Imagine if the RL rainforests had Druids. Global warming be damned.
Staff of awaken = 28,000 GP (market price) to cast awaken once per charge. I'd be cheaper if you have it cost more than one charge. Basically you could awaken ten things every ten day (average) split up however you like.
Not a bad investment for a Druid in a kingmaker style game. After 50 castings the material component investment will have paid for itself.

The "Costly component" 2,000 x 50 charges = would automatically tack on 100,000 gp to the price of the items creation, as a component cost. This cost is tacked onto the end of the item creation, and not divide by the number of charges. (Charges in reference to number of charge normal used to cast the spell).
5th level spell x 9th CL x 400 gp "Staff" = 18,000 gp base
2000 gp component cost x 50 (charged item) = 100,000 gp
Market Price = 18,000 x 2 = 28,000 + 100,000 gp = 128,000 gp total Market Price.
...............
Telias : nice idea, as that would cut the compoent cost down. Only problem, is that you can only recharge the staff 1 charge per day. So if the Staff needed more than 1 charge to cast awaken... then you would need more Days between castings before you could recast the awaken spell, once you depeated the staff of its starting charges. Although, in the long run, it might pay off, over the months or years of use.

So, your druid is tired of the wizard?
Then wildshape into something with tentacles, constrict attacks, and swallow whole. eat him after a combat (so you have a reason to be wildshaped and he doesn't fireball you) And do the same to anyone who replaces him. then awaken a living steel tree and have it be the wizard/magus/witch/alchemist.
