Opposition School: Air

Earth Supremacy (Su)

You gain a +2 enhancement bonus to your CMD to resist bull rush, drag, reposition, trip, and overrun attempts as long as you are touching the ground. This bonus increases by +1 for every five wizard levels you possess. In addition, you gain a +1 insight bonus on melee attack and damage rolls whenever both you and your foe are touching the ground. At 20th level, earth and stone do not block the line of effect of your spells, although they do still block your line of sight.

Acid Cloud (Su) 9/9, (DC 20 fort or sickened)

As a standard action, you can create a 5-foot-radius cloud of acid vapor within 30 feet that lasts for 1 round. This cloud deals 1d6 points of acid damage + 1 point for every two wizard levels you possess to all creatures in the cloud and sickens them for 1 round. A successful Fortitude save negates the sickened effect and halves the damage. The DC of this save is equal to 10 + 1/2 your wizard level + your Intelligence modifier. Creatures that begin their turn inside the cloud can move out that turn without penalty, but those that enter the cloud are affected. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Intelligence modifier.

Earth Glide (Su) (9/9 rounds)

At 8th level, you gain the ability to move through earth, dirt, and stone for a number of rounds per day equal to your wizard level. You cannot move through worked earth or stone; only natural substances can be traversed. If your total duration expires before you exit the earth, you are flung back to the point where you entered the stone, take 4d6 points of damage, and are stunned for 1 round. Your burrowing does not leave a hole, nor does it give any sign of your presence (although you can be detected by creatures with tremorsense). These rounds do not need to be consecutive.

Worldsong Notes
-------

The magical obsidian staff Dasur and crew discovered near an elemental rift. It came with a spellbook describing four rituals.

The ritual of closing requires wielding the stave, sacrificing four jewels worth 100 gp each (halite, amethyst, sapphire, fire opal). Speaking prayers in all four Elemental languages. If you don't know a language, make a DC 15 Linguistics check to cover the ones you are missing.

The ritual of widening requires wielding the stave, sacrificing the same jewels, and speaking different prayers.

To empower the stave, you have to widen the rift, then hold the stave in the elemental power that pours from it. This would be very dangerous to the wielder.

To destroy the stave, simply heat it in fire from the rift and then smash it on the stone around the rift.

CASTING

Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, F (miniature shovel costing 10gp)

EFFECT

Range touch

Target: A section of solid rock with the dimensions of at least 5 ft x 5 ft

Duration 1 hour/level (D)

Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance no

DESCRIPTION

When this spell is cast upon a section of solid stone at least 5 ft wide and 5 ft tall, a shallow vertical seam forms on the rock face where it was touched. Unless present when the spell was cast, a creature must succeed a perception check equal to 10 + the caster level of the caster to notice the seam. This 5 x 5 section of stone can not be altered in any way for the duration of the spell, except to be used as a door.

If a creature pushes on the seam with the same force to open a door, the rock face noiselesly swings inward at the seam and forms a threshold that is proportional in size to the creature that pushed the seam. However this door can only be as large as the surrounding rock face allows, and will automatically close after a creature has crossed the threshold unless it is held open from the inside. The door has a handle on the interior side.

Beyond the doors is an box-shaped extra-dimensional space consisting of impenetrable walls of force covering smoothed stone identical to the type that was touched on spell casting. The space holds as many as eight creatures (of any size) and the dimensions of the room grow to accomodate creatures as they enter. This space is outside the usual multiverse of extra-dimensional spaces and contains enough air to support all the creatures inside for the duration of the spell.

Creatures inside are beyond the reach of all spells (including divinations) unless those spells works across planes. Spells cannot be cast across the extra-dimensional threshold, nor can area effects cross it. Creatures in the extra-dimensional space can be seen on the other side of the space if the door has been opened.

When the spell duration ends the door opens to a size matching the largest creature within (outer rock permitting) and the walls begin to slowly collapse. Anything inside the extra-dimensional space is uncomfortably squeezed together and ejected out the door, after which it closes and the seam disappears.

Appearance:

Dasur Deepborn stands at an average 4'1 and an average 170lbs, an average 70 winters old. In fact, the physical appearance of Dasur is so startlingly mundane he could be mistaken for any one of the approximated faces of the ancient Dwarven kings stamped on the currency circulated between strongholds. Dull grey eyes, set in a squarish skull under a heavy brow, look past the surrounding physical world into something beyond. Unfocused they gaze through stone, dwarfs, and the concerns of those around him. Coarse chestnut hair is pulled tightly against his skull, forming into a tight and oily rope that lays down his back, held together by intermittent bangles of stitched leather strips. His beard is the same deep brown and stylized into the same rope-thick length as his hair, uncommonly frizzy hairs poking in wild directions near his sternum. The skin of his face is ashen (a hallmark of his mother, who was known as "The Mountain's Midnight Beauty"), yet clear, as is his apparent avoidance of sunlight.

He is swathed in quickly purchased, stock underground traveling gear (down to the battered, antique mining helmet to protect from falling debris), and leans against a body-length dowel of ash wood. All things considered, the unfocused and wandering Dasur would seem ripe for a good mugging; especially considering the glimmer of a gold chain around his neck is a stark beacon of wealth when set against the backdrop of his boring clothes.

This amulet, a masterful trillion cut of ruby the size of a sling stone set into warm yellow gold, bears scrollwork resembling creeping lichens and delicate fruiting mushrooms. Usually tucked into his shirt, the amulet and its occupying ruby Zhashilgeax (aka The Contemplative King in the Unknown Stronghold of Reaching Mysteries) was recently crafted by Dasur himself as a focus of magical power. The amulet and the spellbook tucked into a waterproof bag in his backpack are the only indication this unassuming dwarf's head is a vast repository of arcane knowledge.

Personality:

Dasur is usually slow-speaking and unassuming, often found lost in his own thoughts or staring into the depths of a gemstone or other natural formation for secrets only his mind cares to find. The prodigal mathematician and wizard sees balance and power in all things connected to the earth, finding the same joy in the reflective depths of a masterfully cut fire diamond, the dusty yet colorful undulations of an unpolished growth of natural opal, or the simple sweep of a limestone cavern roof. His obsession with gemstones and mathematical fractals runs deeper than a vein of mithral, and Dasur will compulsively hoard certain gems or stones that he claims are vital for his research into the nature of matter, magic, and the very structure of the universe. He is continually working on a equation that will tie all three together, which he theorizes is the foundation for the power of gods. The fractals found in living organisms do not usually interest him- in his mind, life is simply copying the forms that are already present in stones or other materials to strength themselves.

He is not afraid to offer stern words of advice or quick corrections, and he sees misinformation and incorrect facts as a sad reality in a world where it takes many different types of dwarfs to make up a kingdom. He does not blame other people for their ignorance, but instead seeks to educate them. Unfortunately the wizard is far from straightforward and will often, without knowing it, offer roundabout explanations (with extensive background) to questions that could be answered in a few words, further confusing those he seeks to educate. As a result those seeking his advice are advised to make sure their entire day is free, acquire a lexicon or two for reference, and bring a packed lunch just in case.

Some humor Dasur and his eccentric views on the foundation of the world and magic, as while he is difficult to get focused on outside tasks, few can argue against his usefulness to Dwarfkind. His engineering and mathematical prowess are seen with awe by those able to pick out the useful bits in his ramblings, his few examples of commissioned gemcutting and goldsmithing are exemplary, and his earth magic (while rebuffed by his opponents for being "near occult in nature" and "based on absurd foundations") is growing exponentially more powerful with every new calendar. Some, however, lament how difficult it is to draw his attention away from his strange studies- he could accomplish great things if set on public works, they say sadly, while others shrug and take what they can get.

A poignant quirk, Dasur will rarely be afflicted with manic episodes. The usually quiet and contemplative dwarf will go into a frenzy of activity, scattering carefully stacked books and scrolls in search of a single "important concept", filling chalkboards with drawings only he can possibly comprehend, and performing magical gemcutting experiments for hours without stopping. Occasionally, after passing out from exhaustion, he will wake and remember a discovery of some importance, dragging himself over to a discarded blank scroll to carefully record a derived equation or arcane observation before beginning to clean his study.

He is neutral in all matters, and as some will say, "has the morality of the stone", likening him more to an underground druid than wizard. His research and its progress was the most important of activities, until rumors of the Tharnhammer expedition trickled its way into his study...

Background:

Grummick Deepborn was a court wizard of a budding Dwarf kingdom, set high in the mountains and founded shortly before the fall of Dammerhall. His brilliant, if eccentric, rise to fame and power spawned several tales of heroism and wall murals with fantastic tales of magical prowess. In return for his faithful service to the Dwarf Lords, he was offered the marriage of one of the court's most special royalty- Alalin Tharnhammer, "The Mountain's Midnight Beauty", descendant of the surviving Tharnhammer that had been present at the mountain settlement for consecration duties that occured during the fall of Dammerhall. She was a nymph among dwarves and famous diplomatic envoy, and Grummick accepted without hesitation. As the songs go, the two were very happy, Grummick entertaining the fair Alalin with his (strange, but amusing) wit, and she providing him with warmth his arcane mysteries could not provide.

What the songs do not tell, however, is Grummick's eccentric experiments into arcane breeding, one he took to his grave. For when Alalin and Grummick planned to conceive, the wizard enchanted his loins with a spell that, based on his research with badgers, would give rise to a new breed of Dwarf sorcerer with incredible powers over the earth.

Alas, Grummick did not live to see the results of his experiments. Afraid of the fact each new generation of sorcerous badger was exponentially more powerful than the last, he sought to end the magical creatures when one started bending the bars of its metal cage by squeaking spells of force. While he was crafting a wand of Disintegration (the only spell he found that could reliably kill the enchanted mammals), a freak accident occurred and the grand wizard suddenly became a pile of dust. His remains were then blown out of his tower study through a window by an equally sudden and freak gust of wind (that an apprentice, to this day, swears was all perpetuated by the badgers). The tower was sealed and the badgers were eventually eradicated by a group of adventurers-for-hire, resulting in a massive explosion, the destruction of the tower, and four dead. Thus ends the tale of Grummick Deepborn.

Dasur was born shortly after his father's death, and had high expectations placed on him. These expectations were met, and then exceeded, for his intellect and deep interest in the arcane came naturally- especially in the field of applied, theoretical, and arcane mathematics. However, as he grew older, his other interest- gemstones and goldsmithing, came to overshadow his work in strange ways. Dasur was obsessed with the contours and shapes of gemstones, proposing radical equations and models to precisely predict the shapes of gemstones down to their flaws. This was met with skepticism, but much of it was eventually shown to be correct, yet terribly useless and time consuming to calculate.

Deeper into this obsession his mind delved, until one day he proclaimed, with a stack of scrolls taller than a human and a natural cluster of ruby in his hand, that he had discovered a formation of ruby predicting future events. Specifically, the return of the Tharnhammers as a clan, the revival of Dammerhall, and a new, grand era of Dwarfkind. This prophecy was laughable to his peers. There was no magic involved, just stacks of incredibly complicated and unproofed mathematical theorems that would take years of calculations to substantiate. With no interest in his claims, Darus' prophecy caused him to be firmly shoved into the "eccentric" category his father once held, minus the tales of grandeur.

Disgraced, Dasur seemed to spontaneously enter a manic state and used his amassed funds to purchase the ruby cluster, cutting and setting it into a brilliant amulet. As he performed the arcane rituals to bond with the object as his new arcane focus, a revelation occurred. He swears, to this day, that the gemstone spoke to him not as a focus, but as a familiar, claiming its name was Zhashilgeax (roughly translated from Terran to: The Contemplative King in the Unknown Stronghold of Reaching Mysteries). It affirmed his theories, and as the last of the magic faded from the binding ritual, beseeched him to wait, for his prophecy would soon unfold. Dasur took the now "silent" gemstone and shared the discovery with his peers, who met this tale with rolling eyes and dismissals of hallucinations brought on by his manic state. Even his mother, who was proud of his accomplishments, tried to downplay her son's... ambitious statements.

Now shoved into the "quack" category tighter than a rivet in a suit of Dwarf full plate, Dasur sulked and continued his studies, waiting, believing... until the rumors of a Tharnhammer expedition to Dammerhall reached his ears. This was the moment, the start of the prophecy! Despite the protests of his mother and peers, he quickly purchased traveling gear and rushed out to make history and prove his theories correct.
