HI
Would this work better?
4C - Call Natures spirits to Help, (4pt) [Summoning 4+1] You call on natures spirit creatures to help you. They are immune to non sliver or cold iron worked metal damage from bullets or melee weapons, but also weak x3 dam from sliver or cold iron.

I actually tried to make my own druid character a while ago. I wasn't very confident with him however, because making the character proved to be rather complex and I wasn't sure if I did it right or not:
The Savage Oak, v2
Florendrel
40 pts
BRAWN: 3
AGILITY: 3
MIND: 2
16 pts
Soak: 3
Defense: 3
Mental Defense: 5
Negating weakness: Must meditate in natural, untamed wilderness
Powers, 24 pts
Shapeshifting, 5 pts
Shapeshifting, 4 pts
Growing/shrinking 1, multipower, limitation: only usable with shapeshifting, 1 pt
Boost 1, limitation: only when using shapeshifting
Forms:
Big Cat: B2 A4, super jumping 1 (20 sq), clinging 1
Cave Bear: B4 A2, size 1 (+5 damage and soak), claws: +1 DM
Dire Wolf: B2 A3, keen senses (smell&hearing), teeth and claws (special attack, +1 hit, +1 DM)
Giant Eagle: B1 A3, flying 3 (15 sq), keen senses (sight), beak and talons (special attack, +1 hit, +1 DM)
Shark: B3 A2, superswimming 2 (9 sqs), immunity: drowning, electroreception: super senses 1, limitation: only works underwater, bite: +1 DM
Rapid Growth, 6 pts

Strong discipline: mind shield 1, 1 pt
Skills:
Atheltics/running, x3
Stealth/hiding, x4
Occultism/druidism x2
outdoor/flora&fauna, x2
Advantages: Fearless, versatile
Disadvantages: Outsider, arch-nemesis (archdruid)
I obviously went a bit different them than you, though some things are the same, such as the shape-shifting part and the control over plants. He was also meant to have control over the 4 elements, but that would've put his point cost severely over budget. He's meant to be a world-class character.

I never did think of things like X mastery back then though. Maybe I should've. I haven't looked at this character in months btw, I've mostly been concentrating on simpler builds.

HI
That looks a lot like a Fantasy games Druid. It looks interesting.
I was going for a more modern idea for a lower point game.
I like the idea of adding growth to shape-change though.
Will see if I can fir that into my version

Well, yeah. My superhero setting has a fairly strong fantasy theme to it. It still takes place in the modern day, its just that magic features much more prominently, and science-fiction is much rarer.

This guy was meant to be part of a justice-league like group, though not all of them were magical. The only other magic character was their leader, who is essentially a straight-up dr.fate/dr. strange-like wizard. I was also thinking about a group of superheroes all with a magic theme to them, though not all of them are mages. One is a guy who fights in an ancient suit of magical armor he found (he's essentially the bruiser of the group), another was a guy who could conjure things for himself to use, most often weapons and armor. He could also summon a horse that he could ride.

Overall though, I haven't really fleshed the setting out all that much. Mostly because I haven't had much luck finding someone to play the game with. I tried to get my sister, but the game was far too complex for it, and besides she seems more concerned with work and school than anything else.
