Description:	Ring of Spears is primarily a defensive spell, but with enough magical acumen and careful timing it can also be cast to devastating effect. When you so evoke the power of Earth, a ring of sharp spikes, resembling spears wrought of rock, rises from the ground around you, fending off surrounding foes and injuring those not lithe enough to escape. A skillful mage can also employ this spell to aid his or her allies.
Effect:	Unknown
Example Messaging:	A grey-green starburst spreads across the entire area, its pointed spokes pausing to probe various points along the ground. The earth rumbles and groans as sharpened rock spears spring violently from beneath its surface around you! One of the rock spears lands a strong hit to a giant black leucro's head, leaving a painful, swollen bruise from the jaw to the temple! The black leucro is dealt a vicious stun! One of the rock spears lands an extremely heavy hit to a giant black leucro's back, devastating the muscles of the lower lumbar on an unstoppable path to flay the skin free of the spine! A giant black leucro collapses to the ground, yelping like a lost puppy calling for its mother until finally it ceases all movement. One of the rock spears lands a strong hit to a giant black leucro's back, making a grating TUT-TUT-TUT as it shudders along the vertebrae and opens bleeding wounds! The black leucro is lightly stunned! One of the rock spears lands a powerful strike to a giant black leucro's back that simply snaps the spine with a sickening CRUNCH! A giant black leucro collapses to the ground, yelping like a lost puppy calling for its mother until finally it ceases all movement. One of the rock spears lands a strong hit to a giant black leucro's left leg, jamming dead center onto the knee before being turned away by the now scarred bone! One of the rock spears lands a very heavy hit to a giant black leucro's back and frees several minor muscles from just beneath the shoulder blades in a bloody spray! The black leucro is stunned! A giant black leucro is forced back from you due to the rocky spears! Roundtime: 2 seconds.
Devices/Tattoos:	No devices or tattoos documented.

Notes

• The spell is still somewhat buggy. A failed casting generally keeps the spell still prepared if no RT is given, 15 or so more mana needs to be harnessed to attempt to recast after failure and still prepared, otherwise not enough mana goes into the spell.

• Can be formed around others and creatures, though not as easily or effective.

• Multiple casts, can cause lingering interference that may cause the spears to attack the target instead of protecting it if cast too often. Leaving the room does not remove the effect, only with time or when it goes wrong does the interference leave.

• Fail Messaging-

You sense that calling spears from the earth again will only add to the lingering interference that is building up, and may have unfortunate results.

You sense that calling spears from the earth again so soon might have unfortunate results.

As you attempt to bend the earth to your needs, some sort of lingering interference from previous casts causes something to go horribly wrong!
The ground beneath your feet explodes with thrusting spears of rock!
One of the rock spears lands a glancing strike to your right arm, barely qualifying as a damaging strike!
