Manuelito's Earthen Grasp

Manuelito's Earthen Grasp was a spell used by the Dark Wizard John Manuelito which caused hands made of rock and earth to rise out of the ground and grab an opponent. Manuelito used the spell in a fight with Maximilian King and later against King's sister Alexandra Quick. Manuelito likely taught the spell to Darla Dearborn as she used it during a duel with Alexandra as well. Darla's version of the spell seems to have been weaker as she was able to conjure only one hand at a time where Manuelito was able to summon multiple hands at once.
The spell may be related to the Entombment Curse that Abraham Thorn used to trap (and nearly kill) Diana Grimm when she attacked him at his family's crypt. Manuelito was never witnessed to force a victim beneath the ground with the spell, but this may simply reflect Thorn's greater skill and power.
