This spell causes the ground to surge upwards and attempt to eat the enemies of the caster. All creatures in a 40' cube must roll a saving throw vs. Spell or be eaten by the ground. Creatures who fail their saving throws are pulled 6 feet underground, where they are covered by packed earth and have no room to move or breath. If their saves are successful the creatures are instead slowed (with no save) and suffer 7d6 points of damage.
The material components for this spell are the ground and a pinch of the remains of a sandling.
Notes: Uncommon for Elementalists; otherwise very rare.
