Landslide

A terrifying thought being caught in a landslide. Its even more terrifying when it defies all logic and just appears above your head.

Effect

Base Effects: Cutting and guiding the energies of Domhan with great skill and knowledge, you carefully bring together enough Topaz manna over an area to manifest into reality the effects of a landslide. Suddenly above the target area there will be a low rumbling, like thunder almost, but a tone more akin to stone grinding. All of a sudden the whole target area will just be buried, a ton of rock, soil, gravel and clay just engulfing the target area. Any creatures within the area need to make an Agility Defensive Test. Should they fail, they take 3d6 Thunder damage and 3d6 Bludgeoning Damage and are wholly buried alive, at risk of beginning to suffocate. Should they succeed, they only take half damage, and are merely Restrained, having managed to somehow keep themselves upright and above the swath of mud, earth and stone. For the duration this is also counted as difficult terrain due to the instability of the ground itself, until the manna simply disappates, the earth fading, returning to where it belongs.

Siegecraft: Against structures or constructs the damage becomes 3d10 bludgeoning and 3d10 thunder damage.

Side/Secondary Effects

Tier II Effects: Increase all instances of damage by 1d6 or 1d10 as appropriate, increase the radius by 25 feet.

Tier III Effects: Increase all instances of damage by 1d6 or 1d10 as appropriate, increase the radius by 25 feet.

Manifestation

Karlyle watched with grim satisfaction as the spell manifested above the encampment of the fell fae, the low rumble tell tale before a ton of soil and stone just engulfed the small clearing, crushing and rending apart their flimsy structures, and most assuredly wiping out many of the vicious fell folk, likely burying others alive. It was a deed with no joy, but one of satisfaction, and one needed, for such creatures could not be allowed to continue kidnapping the children of nearby villages, they would have enough problems in the coming weeks.
