Notes:

  1. Creates Magical Quarrels with the Fire Through Walls Effect for a Light or Heavy Crossbow (as specified by the variable parameter).
  2. As this is an Earth Spell, the Created Quarrels are made of metal.  It is not possible to create Arrows.
  3. The Created Quarrels appear in the Materials.
  4. The Created Quarrels may only be loaded and fired by the Caster.  They disappear if anyone else touches them.  Fired Quarrels disappear the second after hitting an opponent.
  5. All the Quarrels may be dispelled by the Caster at will.
  6. Caster can fire the Quarrels through up to Penetration feet of earth / rock / metal ore ("Walls") as if they were air.  The Spell does not allow the ADS effect of metal armour / shields to be avoided.
  7. Caster still takes normal Range effects from firing.  Penetrated Walls still count towards the Range.
  8. The Spell does not allow the Caster to see through Walls.  He will need an Earthsee or X-Ray Vision Effect to target accurately.
  9. The Spell allows an Earthwalking Caster to fire out of the Earth at non-Earthwalking opponents or Earthwalking opponents to be fired at from within or without the Earth.  Earthwalking opponents are hit (and ADS) as normal, unless they are creatures of earth / rock / metal ore (e.g. Stone Golems, but not Stone Giants or Gargoyles).
  10. If the Caster misses his opponent, the Quarrel will carry on travelling through up to Penetration feet of Walls, and will disappear when it runs out of Penetration or Effective Range.
