Passwall

Action – 30 ft. Long, 5 ft. Wide, 10 ft. Tall Line (30 ft.) – 5th Level (Transmutation) – S – 1 Hour

With a gesture like opening a door, you create a passage through a solid surface or body of water.

Utility

You create a passage through which creatures can safely travel, opening a gap in either a solid surface or body of water (or similar liquid). The spell cannot create a gap in organic material, moving objects, or creatures, though it can create a gap in a magical barrier such as Wall of Force or Forcecage.

  • The passage can be as large as this spell’s listed area of effect or smaller.
  • The passage can go in any direction, including upwards or downwards.
  • Passwall never causes structural instability or displaces material. Even if the hole created by the wall would cause a building to collapse, the building is stable as if the passwall was never created. This may cause things to float.
  • When the spell ends, anything inside the passage is safely ejected to the closest end of the passage, and the material originally displaced returns to its original location.
