Earth Sign
Spell, Astrology, level 5
Grants one of three earth powers: a volley of meteor-like spheres, opening a passage through stone or earth walls, or dispersing magical wind.
From the book
Invokes the earth sign for one of three effects. The caster can fling a swarm of meteor-like spheres, one per level of ability, up to 100 ft. Each deals 1-6 bludgeoning damage to whatever creature or surface it hits, and the caster can spread them among as many targets as desired inside a 20 ft. radius; creatures able to move may save vs Dexterity for half damage.
Alternatively the caster can open a 10x10x10 ft. tunnel through any wall of stone, earth or brick, or can counter and scatter any magical wind.

A scene
The dungeons beneath the Citadel of Tok are cut into solid rock, and the guards laughed when they left the Druas mage chained only at the ankle. Isra waits until the torchlight fades, then speaks the earth sign and lays her palm against the far wall. The stone groans and gives way, not in rubble but in a clean square passage, ten feet high and ten feet deep, opening onto a slope of cold starlit grass. She has no tools for the chain, so she drags it with her.
