You touch the ground beneath you, and can transmute an 30 foot cube of earth centered on you, to another form. (mud, sand, quicksand, or rubble) Each form has it's own varying effects, but all create difficult terrain. You can also use this spell to transmute one of the forms to regular earth, in which case it would make it regular terrain.
Mud- any creature that isn't the caster that attempts to move through the mud must make a successful Dex saving throw. On a fail, the creatures movement ends immediately as it gets stuck in the thick mud. A creature exiting the mud does not need to make this save.
Sand- allows the caster to have easier access to spells requiring the material component of sand.
Quicksand- any creature that isn't the caster must make a Dex saving throw when moving into or through the sand. On it's first failed save, the creature becomes restrained, losing it's movement speed, but can still take actions such as casting spells or using a bow. If it consecutively fails the save a second time, the creature becomes fully restrained and can no longer take actions that require the use of it's hands. Spells that only need a verbal component can still be cast. If it consecutively fails the save a third time, the creature fully sinks into the sand taking 3d8 force damage each round it is fully submerged. If the creature is fully submerged by the time the spell ends, it is then buried 5 feet underground in the spot that it was standing in, taking 5d8 force damage until it the ground is removed. Any creature that isn't in the sand may give the help action by using they're hands or a rope to another creature's saving throw.
Rubble- any creature that isn't that caster that attempts to move through the rubble must make a Dex saving throw. If they fail, that creature falls prone.
Using a 5th level spell slot increases the duration of the spell to 10 minutes. 7th level, 30 minutes. 9th level, 1 hour.
