Protection from earth and stone

Protection from earth and stone was a magical scroll that was used to protect people from falling rocks.

Description
Protection from earth and stone was a scroll.

Powers
Reading the scroll led to the creation of a sphere of 20 feet diameter around the user for three to twelve minutes. Falling rocks' and earth's falling speed was slowed to that of fallings things while under a feather fall spell and guaranteed a soft landing of them turning them harmless. In fact, the affected stones and earth were as though under virtually no gravity and could be moved away with very little force. The sphere moved with the user.

A side effect of the sphere was that people within fell like being under a feather fall spell, which allowed them to safely fall long distances. It did not hinder their normal movement and because objects that were not in touch with living creatures could not benefit from the feather fall effect, shooting or throwing objects functioned normally.

History
Protection from earth and stone was a magical scroll that was uniquely found among the drow. Their clerics and wizards often created magical scrolls for their patrols. In the case of protection from earth and stone, the purpose was to provide a patrol with the means to protect themselves from cave-ins. It was under common usage by said patrols.
