Quiml's awful burial is an impressed, focused spell. The caster lifts
handfuls of earth and casts them to the ground with great force. The mage who
wishes to impress this spell must go to the area of earth she wishes to affect,
and do this motion over and over during the cast time. To release the spell,
the caster picks up one handful of the earth and hurls it in the direction she
wishes the spell to go.
This spell picks up a patch of earth 100 meters wide,
100 meters long, and 2 meters thick. The mage then raises it several meters (up
to the range of the spell) into the air, turns the earth over, and slams it
down, burying anything underneath. Because the casting is impressed and the
area of earth is so specifically regulated, it is of limited use.
