If it doesn't fit anywhere else, it belongs here. Also, come here if you just need to get hammered.

Earth Elemental Evoker Idea

Now that Stone of Tremors is gone, Earth lacks an evoker--and now there's a lightning evoker, too. So here's a go at a physical-damage evoker that is intended to turn an area in LOS into a short-lived death zone.

  Code:
Stone of Wrath

Causes living stalactites to grow out of the floor to smash all around them.  Stalactites cannot move but have unbranded reaching UC attacks.  The Stone summons a number of stalactites, randomly placed into a 5x5 area centered on a smite-targeted square (so their reaching means that all of them are guaranteed to be able to reach this square). 

I envision that these would attack anyone, including the player; does being generated frenzied but being not natural accomplish this without berserking?
I suspect that a small number of stalactites that scale in strength with evocations is better than a uniformly average summons with quantity scaling by evocations.
Need to figure out how to case different kinds of floor and/or whether to care. Of course not deep water or lava, but anything else can probably be made to work.

TL,DR: an earth-themed Malign Gateway with no player-safety timeframe.
Won (52). Remaining (15): 5 species: Ba, Fe, Mu, Na, Op; 5 Backgrounds: AM, Wr, Su, AE, Ar; 5 gods: Jiyv, newNem, WJC, newSif, newFedh
