Choose a portion of dirt or stone that you can see within range and that fits within a 2m Cube. You manipulate it in one of the following ways:

• If you target an area of loose earth, you can instantaneously excavate it, move it along the ground, and deposit it up to 2m away. This movement doesn’t have enough force to cause damage.
• You cause shapes, colours, or both to appear on the dirt or stone, spelling out words, creating images, or shaping patterns. The changes last for 1 hour.
• If the dirt or stone you target is on the ground, you cause it to become difficult terrain. Alternatively, you can cause the ground to become normal terrain if it is already difficult terrain. This change lasts for 1 hour.

If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have no more than two of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.

At 5th Level. You can have up to five non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss any number of such effects as an action.

At 11th Level. The shapes or colours you make appear on dirt or stone last for up to 12 hours. Additionally, any earth you excavate and move with this spell can be deposited up to 6m away.

At 17th Level. This spell can manipulate dirt and stone that fits within a 4m Cube. Additionally, shapes or colours you make appear on dirt or stone last for up to 24 hours. You can also cause all dirt or stone within 2m of you to turn into difficult terrain, including the ground on which you stand, for 24 hours.
