This is a page for Terrestrial Circle sorcery spells I develop. Right now, there's just the one.

Restoring the Shadowed Land
Cost: 60m, 1wp
Target: A radius (Essence)*50 yards around the caster

It is known throughout Creation and the Underworld that the Unconquered Sun is the opponent of the dead, and his power is proof against their corruption upon the world. The Five Elemental Dragons help to root Creation at the Elemental Poles, and their kindred, the elementals, are literally the stuff of the world given life. Gaia, Mother of the Dragons, is Creation's birth mother. Together, there is little that they cannot do, and less they cannot cleanse.

This spell must be cast near the edge of a shadowland. In a ritual stretching from dawn to dusk, the sorcerer calls on the Sun, the Dragons, and Gaia herself to reclaim lands tainted by the entropic, necrotic Essence of the Underworld. In this manner, the sorcerer cleanses an area out to a radius of (their Essence * 50 yards) of being a shadowland, returning it fully into Creation's grasp. The edge of the shadowland must fall within 25 yards of the spell's maximum radius (so, for example, an Essence 3 caster can be no more than 125 yards into a shadowland when they cast this spell).

This takes a powerful will and a great deal of Essence, more than most Terrestrials can muster at a time. However, either Dragon-Blooded or elementals can assist in the casting, paying one point of Willpower and providing either five motes (for Terrestrials) or ten motes (for elementals) of the cost, down to a minimum of twenty motes for the caster. Each elemental or Terrestrial Exalt involved must be of a different type. For example, an Air Aspect sorcerer casting this spell could have an Earth Aspect and Water Aspect assisting along with a wood spider and a flame duck, but could not have a hurakka lend its Essence directly. (A non-Terrestrial caster is treated as having an elemental aspect of the type related to their Caste for Celestial Exalted while mortal sorcerers take on the aspect of the direction the spell is cast in. This applies only to the sorcerer - only Terrestrial Exalted can assist but any type of Exalt can cast the spell, as can mortal sorcerers.)
