Open Ground

The Necromancy spell Open Ground is a versatile digging tool.

Spell Description
The spell Open Ground was originally created as a tool to help in the Necromancers primary task of burying the dead. Casting it near a tombstone will open the ground in front of it, thus allowing the caster to lower a body into the newly created grave. However, the spell is more potent than just that. Being a universal digging tool, it can also be used to open up rock walls and other earth-based obstacles that block the path of the Necromancer, thus being a very versatile tool if in the right hands.
