Raising the Earth's Bones

You ground your will in to the earth with cut sapling branches or pure magic, and shape it.

This spell is a complex ritual Venture where the caster reshapes the terrain to create a structure of their design from local soil and stone.

Shaping A Stone Structure

Time scale: One scene

Base obstacles: 2

Common dice pools: (appropriate Attribute) + Craft

Common obstacles:

• Designing the structure (Difficulty from 0 to 8. Take the difficulty to design the structure the sorcerer envisions without this spell, and then subtract 2.)
• Controlling the flowing earth (Difficulty 3)
• The structure is larger than a few acres in size. (Difficulty 7)
• The structure is more than four stories tall. (Difficulty 7)

Common advantages:

• Skip the 'controlling the flowing earth' obstacle. (3 successes).
• Learn something useful or interesting about the local soil and stone. (3 successes)
• Sense any other magic that has been performed on or with the earth you shape. (5 successes)
• The structure is polished, decorated, and beautiful. (Any number of successes.)

Common consequences:

• The available earth and stone cannot be made strong enough to suit the caster's design, which must change.
• The spell undermines or even collapses nearby structures as it draws on the earth.
• The resultant structure has unsightly warps, faults, and growths.
• The spell disrupts geomancy, attracting unwelcome attention.

At three consequences, the structure collapses outright upon completion.
