Earth Elemental's Grasp

4th-level conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S, M (a small stone from the desert)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Classes: Sorcerer, Wizard, Druid
Description: This spell allows the caster to temporarily invoke the assistance of an Earth Elemental to create subterranean tunnels and pathways, providing a shortcut or faster route through the desert.
Casting: When you cast this spell, you call upon the power of an Earth Elemental, which emerges from the ground and becomes your ally. The elemental will help you create a subterranean pathway for your vessel.
Path Creation: The Earth Elemental can create tunnels and paths beneath the desert sands, effectively paving a route for the vessel to follow. These pathways are stable, ensuring that the vessel doesn't sink into the sand.
Vessel Movement: The vessel can traverse these underground pathways, reducing the need to navigate the often challenging desert terrain. It can move through the subterranean tunnels created by the Earth Elemental with ease.
Duration: You must concentrate to maintain the Earth Elemental's Grasp. The elemental will assist for up to 1 hour as long as your concentration is not broken. After the spell's duration ends, the elemental returns to its plane, and the tunnels created collapse.
Elemental Bond: While the Earth Elemental is your ally, it won't engage in combat on your behalf, and its primary purpose is to assist in creating pathways beneath the sand.
Terrain Limitations: This spell works most effectively in areas with loose desert sands. It's less effective in rocky or solid terrains.
