Control Earth
Spell, Elemental Magic, level 7
Either dissolves an earth, stone or mortar structure (possibly triggering rockslides) or opens a fissure through it.
From the book
The caster works on up to 10x10x10 ft. of earth or stone within 100 ft., in one of two ways. The first wears away and dissolves on the spot any wall, structure or surface made mostly of earth, stone or mortar, magical or not; this can bring down rockslides, with the damage left to the Game Judge. The second opens a crack or gap through any such barrier, structure or surface, no bigger than the spell's area. There is no save.

A scene
The slave pens of the Tharshi copper mine on Achamantis were built of mortared stone with a single iron gate. The druid Godric did not bother with the gate. He laid his hand against the outer wall, and a whole section of it slumped, crumbled and ran away like wet sand, leaving a gap wide enough to drive a cart through. The prisoners stared at the sudden opening and the night beyond it. A guard came running around the corner and stopped dead. Then the first slave was through, and the rest poured after.
