This powerful spell enables the priest to temporarily form a stone guardian from a solid block of stone of sufficient volume (3.000 pounds minimum). The stone guardian has all the abilities and restrictions of a creature of this type. The guardian called forth is nonintelligent and can follow only simple commands issued by the priest, involving direct actions with simple conditional modifiers.
The material components are the priest's holy symbol and a specially crafted rod of pure quart/. (this requires at least 10 days to shape at the cost of 1,000 gp). The priest holds the rod to control the guardian; it's premature shattering ends the spell. When the spell ends, the rod shatters into worthless shards.
Notes: Granted by the gnome god Segojan Earthcaller.
