Create Oasis (Priest Spell)

This spell creates a lush oasis within the con­fines of a ring of standing stones of the priest's cre­ation. The maximum radius of the oasis is 30 yards per caster level beyond 20th; the priest can create a smaller oasis if desired.
The preparation time is the time required to erect the circle of stones. Each stone must be at least 12 feet tall and no more than 4 feet wide or thick; rough-hewn and oblong; and set into the ground to stand on end. One stone must be placed every 10 yards around the circumference of the proposed oasis (the table shows how many stones must be erected for oases of various sizes.)

Cutting and placing a single stone requires 49 worker-hours, provided stones are readily available in the area and the workers have appropriate tools (chisels, spikes, hammers, rollers). If tools or ready stones aren't available, this time may increase or, at the DM's discretion, the preparation may be impossible. Also, particularly skilled or capable workers (such as dwarves, half-giants, or slaves trained in quarries) may cut the time by as much as half. The priest can erect the stones personally by physical or magical labor, or enlist the help of other creatures that share his or her alignment (if any laborers are not of the priest's alignment, the spell will fail when cast). After the last stone is place, the priest casts create oasis from the exact center of the ring. Provided all the stones are in place at the time of casting, interruptions that may have occurred during their placement won't negate the spell.
When the spell is completed, the circle inside the stones is instantly transformed into a plat-filled, water-rich oasis. The trees and bushes are laden with nourishing, delicious fruits, and small game birds and animals appear, supported by springs and pools of fresh, cool water. The oasis can also sus­tain one human-sized creature for every 36 square yards, as shown on the table. Each night, game creatures, fruits, and water are replenished. Defil­ing magic still causes permanent damage – subtract the damaged area when considering the oasis's abil­ity to support living creatures.
The oasis remains intact until the priest either voluntarily ends the spell or physically moves beyond the ring of standing stones. Once the spell ends, the oasis and the standing stones vanish, leav­ing the exact terrain that existed before. The spell also ends if the priest is slain.
The material components are the standing stones themselves, which vanish when the spell is broken.
Notes: Granted to air, earth, and water elemen­tal, common.
