Stonewarding, School of Tradition

Innate Ability: Patience

At the beginning of each exchange, if the Stonewarden has cast no spells since the last exchange, they gain two stacks of “Patience”.

At the beginning of each exchange, if the Stonewarden has cast non-Stonewarding spells, they gain one stack of “Patience”.

Stonewarding spells can only be cast using the Natrelmon as a focus if the use is defensive.

Stonewarding spells do not consume a use for as long as the cast spell blocked an attack. This effect has a [10 - [Rank]] cooldown.

Innate Ability: Tectonic Sense

The Stonewarden is able to sense all things touching the ground within [Patience * 5] feet of themselves in any given direction. If this range reaches 100 feet, it remains at 100 feet for the remainder of the battle regardless of Patience.

Rank I - Earthen Wall [3]

The Stonewarden raises a wall of earth from the ground, up to [5 + [Rank]] feet by [5 + [Rank]] feet. The walls must be quadrilateral, must remain connected to the ground, and can only be cast within [[Rank]*10] feet of the Stonewarden, and [[Rank]*2.5] feet of their Natrelmon.

The Stonewarden can manipulate an additional wall for every two stacks of Patience that the Stonewarden has. This effect consumes all of the Stonewarden's Patience.

The Wall has 8 HP, and will crumble to dust if reduced to 0.

Rank II - Eruption [5]

The Stonewarden raises a spike of earth from the ground within [Rank*5] feet of themselves, up to [2 + [Rank]] feet high. Eruption consumes all Patience upon being cast, creating an additional spike per stack of Patience.

Rank III - Unyielding Defence [-]

Once every six exchanges, the next attack that gets within five feet of the Stonewarden will instantly be met with a wall of earth that has 8 HP. The wall will persist for [[Rank]/2] exchanges, rounded down. The wall created by Unyielding Defence can only be created perpendicular to the earth, and cannot defend from aerial attacks.

Rank IV - React In Kind [-]

If the Stonewarden has 10 or more Patience when they cast Earth Wall or Eruption, its use is refunded. This effect has a [10 - [Rank]] exchange cooldown.

Rank V - Indomitable Will [2]

For the next two exchanges, the Stonewarden can now apply Patience to Unyielding Defence, allowing them to create additional walls, and Unyielding Defence has no cooldown as long as the Stonewarden has 10 or more Patience.

Rank VI - Peace through War [-]

Whenever the Stonewarden makes physical contact with a spike created by Eruption, they can transform the spike into a melee weapon which they can wield. Whenever the Stonewarden is wielding a weapon through the use of Peace through War, they gain an Earth Wall that can move through the ground that can be freely manipulated within ten feet of themselves.

Rank VII - Enlightenment [-]

Once every ten exchanges, the Stonewarden can place Unyielding Defence on cooldown (provided it is available for use) in order to restore all Patience that their last spell consumed.

Earth Walls now have 12 HP.

Rank VIII - Intense Meditation [1]

The Stonewarden channels until they are interrupted or choose to stop. At the end of each exchange spent channeling, they gain double the Patience they gained at the end of the previous exchange. This has a minimum value of one.

Passive: If the Stonewarden is crowd controlled, they may cast Stonewarding spells as if they were not silenced by expending Patience equal to the rank of the spell they wish to cast.

Rank IX - Earthfall [-]

The Stonewarden may spend up to 10 Patience and touch one of their created Earthen Walls created by Stonewarding.

The wall explodes outwards violently, creating [X] shards, where X is the amount of Patience consumed, that deal major Earth-type damage to anything they hit. The shards travel at 15 feet per second. The shards are a foot long and six inches in diameter.

The wall crumbles to dust regardless of how much Patience is spent.

Rank X - Wisdom of the Ages [-]

The Stonewarden's Patience gain is doubled. Whenever the Stonewarden procs Unyielding Defence, they gain five stacks of Patience. The Stonewarden can move through their own Stonewarding spells and their Natrelmon's Earth-type moves as if they were Intangible. The Stonewarden may manipulate the form and structure of their Stonewarding spells as they desire.
