Create Earth

Create Earth is a regular-type Earth spell that creates good, solid earth where none existed before. This earth must be touching the ground, not hanging in the air or floating in the sea.Magic, p.51 It can also solidify mud into earth at a lower cost (see below).
* Duration: Permanent.Created earth in the DFRPG lasts for one day unless irreversibly consumed sooner. This is referred to Wizardry Refined as the One-Day Guarantee. Also mentioned in Havens and Hells!
* Cost: 2 per cubic yard to create earth; 1 per cu/yd to solidify mud into earth; minimum 1.
* Prerequisites: Earth to Stone
== Specific Uses ==
* Small Uses
** Patching up walls, barricading entrances, creating earthworks.Mentioned in The Society of Siege Sorcerers, Pyramid 3/4: Magic on the Battlefield.
** If you or your team has magic beans or other seed-based plant summons, Create Earth can let you plant it wherever you can summon earth, even if you're surrounded by cobbles, crystals, solid rock, or unholy soil.
* Big Uses
** Creating firm, walkable terrain in a swamp.Mentioned in Quartermaster Mage, Pyramid 3/25: Epic Magic Creating larger barriers and earthworks (which can then be shaped to wall-shape and turned to stone).
*** Ceremonial casting can massively increase the FP used in this spell!
* Tactical Uses
** The "Road Grit technique",Fanon Create Earth can be used to stabilize and add friction to an otherwise treacherous surface. Fighting on top of slippery ice? Road grit. Floor covered in spiderwebs? Road grit. Ground covered in some annoying mold? You better believe that's a time to road grit.
** Salting -- Create Earth doesn't necessarily say you can summon road-quality salt, but it's certainly a useful addition. Use salt to keep back "unclean supernatural creatures" like toxifiers. Likewise, creatures that rely on moisture, like Water Elementals and Slugbeasts, will try to avoid stepping or slipping onto salt, and it might even be usable against crushrooms, who prefer to keep their roots un-seasoned...
* Silly, Niche, or Downtime Uses
** Creating earth to process into clay? 
** Making an area look unused, by summoning a very fine layer of dust over a room.
