\subsection{Meld Into Stone}\label{meld-into-stone}

\emph{3rd---level transmutation (ritual)}

\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item
  \textbf{Casting Time:} 1 action
\item
  \textbf{Range:} Touch
\item
  \textbf{Components:} V, S
\item
  \textbf{Duration:} 8 hours
\end{itemize}

You step into a stone object or surface large enough to fully contain
your body, melding yourself and all the equipment you carry with the
stone for the duration. Using your movement, you step into the stone at
a point you can touch. Nothing of your presence remains visible or
otherwise detectable by nonmagical senses.

While merged with the stone, you can't see what occurs outside it, and
any Wisdom (Perception) checks you make to hear sounds outside it are
made with disadvantage. You remain aware of the passage of time and can
cast spells on yourself while merged in the stone. You can use your
movement to leave the stone where you entered it, which ends the spell.
You otherwise can't move.

Minor physical damage to the stone doesn't harm you, but its partial
destruction or a change in its shape (to the extent that you no longer
fit within it) expels you and deals 6d6 bludgeoning damage to you. The
stone's complete destruction (or transmutation into a different
substance) expels you and deals 50 bludgeoning damag to you. If
expelled, you fall prone in an unoccupied space closest to where you
first entered.
