This highly specialized and rarely-granted spell is available only to druids of the Celtic deity Belenus. It is granted but once per year, and is the most important spell in the dedication of a circle of standing stones (see standing stones). The casting of the spell requires an entire week. Any interruption negates its effects, and the druid must start over. A druid using this spell has one year to create a circle of stones. Failure to do so means the patron deity takes back this (and all the druid's other spells), never again to be bestowed. (Theoretically, in an extraordinary case of exceptional service, a disgraced druid might be reinstated, but there is no evidence this has ever happened.)
The deity allows only one attempt to construct a circle of standing stones each year.
Notes: Granted by the Celtic god Belenus, a sun god and patron of druids. (In campaigns not using a traditional Celtic pantheon, the local equivalent might be substituted by the DM.)
* - (a small stone quarried from the same place as the stones used in the circle)
