''You step on the dimly glowing floor tile, and feel pulse through your body.''

This spell enhances the ground to give off one of the selected passive magical effect as seen below.  Effects apply to all creatures standing on the affected ground up to 5 ft above.  Multiple terrain arcana spells can overlap and provide different effects or counter each other, but the same bonuses and penalties do not stack.  Effects come into play when you end your movement in a square, not simply passing through.  Affected terrain glows dimly, so it cannot be used effectively as a trap.  Creatures become aware of the effects when standing in the area.

By casting this spell in a higher level spell slot, you can access stronger effects.  By using a more expensive focus (which is left behind as part of the spell) you can make the duration permanent.
