Silt Bridge (Priest Spell)

With this powerful spell, the priest can tem­porarily turn a vast area of the Sea of Silt into solid ground. This spell cannot be cast elsewhere.
During the preparation time, the priest must spend at least six hours per day flying over the silt to be altered, sprinkling it with bone dust. Unlike most psionic enchantments, interruptions during a day's activities can be tolerated, provided the priest does spend six hours during each day in preparation.
Once the spell is cast, the mixture of bone and silt hardens to form a solid surface. The area solid­ified is a rectangle 100 yards across, and its length is one mile per caster level above 20th. Multiple castings can create longer bridges.
The hardened area can support any amount of weight, since it is solid from the surface down to the bottom of the Sea of Silt. If it is gouged or attacked, it reacts exactly like bone. When the spell duration ends, the bone softens over a period of three rounds back into its original silt-those stand­ing on it likely disappear beneath the surface.
The material component is a large amount of bone dust. The caster must assemble at least 50 pounds of bone dust per day of preparation, or 2,250 pounds altogether. Generally, a humanoid creature has 25 pounds of bones. Larger creatures have 25 pounds per Hit Die. The caster need not personally gather or grind these bones, nor does the preparation time include this.
Notes: Granted to elementals, common.
