Maximilian's stony grasp

Maximilian's stony grasp was an alteration spell used by wizards. This spell was developed by Maximilian.

Effects
This spell caused a man-sized arm of stone to rise from the ground beneath a targeted creature. The arm immediately tried to grab the leg of the target. If successful, the arm would severely impede the target's movement and make it much harder for them to defend themselves.

Components
In addition to verbal and somatic components, this spell required a miniature hand carved from stone to cast. The carving would crumble to dust when either the hand was destroyed or the spell expired. Additionally, this spell needed to be cast upon stone ground, be it natural or artificial, to function.
