Geomancy is the long forgotten art of drawing your power and magic from the energies that run through the earth. Despite not being the most straightforward arcane tradition, it has been recently rediscovered from ancient scrolls and by studying long-standing structures and geological formations, which has led to a small, but influential, following from mages and wizards.

== Geomancy ==

A long-standing tradition, eventually fallen in obscurity, geomancy studies the use of mighty leylines, physical channels of magic power that run through the earth to command stones, rocks, sand and the soil itself to do the caster's bidding as well as empowering their magic.

=== Earth Carving ===

Starting at 2nd level, you have achieved the mastery of geomancy's basics. You learn the cantrip [[Mold Earth (5e)|''mold earth]] but it doesn't count against the number of known cantrips.

You also gain one of the following proficiencies of your choice: History, Nature or cartographers's tools.

=== Geoglyphs ===

Also at 2nd level, you may employ their mastery of the earth to sculpt a number of geoglyphs equal to your proficiency bonus. Geoglyphs are carved stones, or a mass of soil or sand, which have shapes of power, usually recalling the earth's leylines. Active geoglyphs float around your body.

You may use your geoglyphs to empower your spellcasting, allowing your magic to mingle with the power of the earth. Instead of employing higher level spell slots, you may upcast by consuming one geoglyph per each higher slot level you wish to cast your spell.

In addition, as long as you have geoglyphs ready they can cast the cantrips [[Blade Ward (5e)|''blade ward'']] and ''[[Magic Stone (5e)|magic stone]]'' and they don't count against the number of known cantrips. Active geoglyphs may be used as arcane foci, even if you don't hold them.

You regain the use of this feature after a long rest.

=== Earth Mastery ===

Starting at 6th level, you may call the earth itself to aid in your struggles. You may cast the spell ''[[SRD5:Conjure Minor Elementals|conjure minor elementals]]'' once. The only elementals you may conjure are earth elementals. You can't use this feature again until you take a long rest, but you may expend geoglyphs to use it again before, expending a number of geoglyphs equal to the spell level. 

By level 10th you can use the spell ''[[SRD5:Conjure Elemental|conjure elemental]]'' instead, within the same conditions as above. The elementals summoned do not become hostile if you lose concentration.

=== Leyline Meditation ===

Again, at level 6th, when using their Arcane Recovery feature, you may expend spell slots to regain a number of geoglyphs equal to the sum of the slot's spell level, up to the limit.

You may cast the spells ''[[SRD5:Commune|commune]]'', ''[[SRD5:Commune with Nature|commune with nature]]'' or ''[[SRD5:Find the Path|find the path]]'' by expending a number of geoglyphs equal to the spell level, but you don't need to spend any material components to do so. You regain this feature after a long rest.

You now prepare a number of geoglyphs equal to double your proficiency bonus.

=== Earth Node Gateway ===

Starting at 10th level, you may create nodes of power that gather the magic of leylines to travel quickly across them. By spending 10 minutes, you may carve a circle into earth or stone and make it work as a permanent ''[[SRD5:Teleportation Circle|teleportation circle]]''. You regain the use of this feature at the end of a long rest.

You may create a maximum number of nodes equal to your Intelligence modifier, carving multiple teleportation circles. You may dismiss your nodes as an action, or bonus action, by touching them.

These earth nodes only work with other nodes made by you and only if there is contiguous terrain between the two nodes (for example, a node on an island may not be used to travel to a node on the mainland). If you create additional gateways exceeding the maximum, you choose one of the previous instances and dismiss it.

By expending three geoglyphs you may teleport to an earth node, even if there isn't another to enter through.

=== Terramorph ===

At level 14th, you reach the peak of your abilities and may reshape the very earth through the power of leylines. You may use an action to use the spell ''[[SRD5:Move Earth|move earth]]'', though with a range of 600 feet, in an area of 100-feet radius. You may concentrate on the spell for a minute, making the changes happen much faster than the regular spell. Spending an action each round you may also use the spell ''[[SRD5:Earthquake|earthquake]]'' in the affected area.

You are immune to the effects of your own Terramorph feature, and you may exclude a number of creatures equal to your Intelligence modifier from these effects. In addition, by concentrating for one minute you may get an intuitive knowledge of the geography of an area within the same limitations of this feature.

You regain this feature after a long rest.
