Genesis (3.5e Spell)


 * This article is about the Book of Elements Genesis spell. You may be looking for SRD:Genesis

This spell creates a demiplane as per the demiplane creation rules in this book. The demiplane must be coterminous or tangent to the plane you cast it on, and this spell must be cast on the Ethereal or Astral plane.

The plane's traits may have a total trait value of up to the caster level the spell is cast at (see the section on creating demiplanes in this book). The spell's descriptors match the elemental and alignment traits of the plane it creates.

When this spell is cast, a local density fluctuation precipitates the creation of a demiplane. At first, the fledgling plane grows at a rate of 1 foot in radius per day to an initial maximum radius of 180 feet as it rapidly draws substance from surrounding ethereal vapors and protomatter.

The planar environment is decided by the caster: atmosphere, weather, composition (including amount and presence of water), and the general shape of the terrain, to no more accuracy than about a 20' cube. The spell cannot create life (including vegetation) nor construction; such things must be brought in or built in the plane. After creating the plane, this spell can be cast again on it after it reaches its maximum size to add another 180 feet to its radius.

Arcane Material Component: A snow globe.

XP Cost: 5000 EXP
