The Canton dwarves of the Ironcrags have many enemies: vampires, darakhul, derro, just to name three. To combat them, their arcane spellcasters have many powerful elemental spells of the Evocation school to burn, crush, and electrocute their enemies in waves.

LANDSLIDE

On a failure, it takes 8d8 bludgeoning damage, is pushed 30 feet away from the spellcaster, and becomes prone. On a success, the creature takes half as much damage, is pushed 15 feet and is not prone.

Unsecured objects that are completely within the area of effect are pushed 30 feet away from the spellcaster. The spell also creates an enormous roar that can be heard up to 500 feet away.

At 6th circle, it creates three bolts dealing 3d10 fire damage and 3d10 bludgeoning damage each. At 8th circle, it creates four bolts dealing 4d10 fire damage and 4d10 bludgeoning damage each. You can direct the bolts at the same or multiple targets. Make a separate attack roll for each lava bolt.

SAINT MISHAU’S FIRE

4th-Circle Arcane (Evocation)

Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a piece of lightning-struck bark or wood, or a holy symbol of St. Mishau)
Duration: Concentration (up to one minute)

You are sheathed in shimmering, crackling sheets of blue electricity.

The target is covered in an aura of luminous waves and streaks of cerulean electricity. For the duration of the spell, the target is immune to lightning damage. An enemy wearing metal armor within 5 feet of the target or that attacks with a metal melee weapon must make a CON save. On a failure, it takes 4d8 lightning damage or half as much damage on a success. Any undead creature within 5 feet takes 4d8 lightning damage with no save.

In addition, the lightning aura absorbs the first 40 points of any type of damage inflicted on the target (excluding lightning damage). The spell ends when it absorbs 40 damage, the caster’s concentration is broken, or the duration expires.

If a target moves more than 60 feet from the caster, travels to another plane or becomes ethereal or gaseous in form, the spell ends. If a target turns invisible, the aura remains visible.
