# Erupting Earth > [!info] Spell Details > | | | > |---|---| > | **Level** | 3rd | > | **School** | [[Transmutation]] | > | **Casting Time** | 1 Action | > | **Range** | 120 feet | > | **Components** | V, S, M *(a piece of obsidian)* | > | **Duration** | Instantaneous | > | **Classes** | Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard | --- ## Description Choose a point you can see on the ground within range. A fountain of churned earth and stone erupts in a 20-foot cube centered on that point. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes **3d12 bludgeoning damage** on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. Additionally, the ground in that area becomes difficult terrain until cleared. Each 5-foot-square portion of the area requires at least 1 minute to clear by hand. --- ## At Higher Levels When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by **1d12** for each slot level above 3rd.
