 Your spiritual form resembles your mortal form in almost every way, replicating your game statistics and possessions. The principal difference is the addition of a silvery cord that extends from between your shoulder blades and trails behind you, fading from view after 1 foot. This cord is your tether to your material body. As long as the tether remains intact, you can find your way home. If the cord is cut-something that can happen only when an effect specifically states that it does-your soul and body are separated, killing you instantly.
-Your spirit form can freely travel through the spirit world and can pass through portals there leading to the Realm of Light or the Second World. If you enter a new realm or return to the mundane world, your body and possessions are transported along the silver cord, allowing you to re-enter your body. Your spirit form is a separate incarnation. Any damage or other effects that apply to it have no effect on your physical body, nor do they persist when you return to it.
+Your spirit form can freely travel through the spirit world. Any attacks that would affect the physical world now only affects denizens of the spirit world and vice versa. Your spirit form is immaterial and invisible to those on the material world and can pass through portals there leading to the Realm of Light or the Second World. If you enter a new realm or return to the mundane world, your body and possessions are transported along the silver cord, allowing you to re-enter your body. Your spirit form is a separate incarnation. Any damage or other effects that apply to it have no effect on your physical body, nor do they persist when you return to it.
 The spell ends for you when you use your action to dismiss it. When the spell ends, you return to your physical body, and awaken.  A successful Dispel Arcanum spell used against your spirit form or physical body ends the spell as well. If a your original body or spirit form drops to 0 Hit Points, the spell ends. If the spell ends and the silver cord is intact, the cord pulls your spirit back to your body, ending its state of suspended animation.

 For 1 minute/level, you can create, disintegrate, or control one of the four elements of air, earth, fire and water.
-  * Construction or Excavation: By using the ability to manipulate earth and rock, you may use your powers to construct rough earthworks and moats at lower levels, rising to the ability to conjure and work stone and water into fortifications and dams at later levels.
+  * Magic Walls: In a battle, this spell may be used to create a single continuous wall of fire, stone, seawater, or air starting at a point within 60'. These walls are created in chunks sized 15'x 5'x3' per level (the size of a Jenga block.) Having copious amounts of a particular element available such as rubble, a nearby lake, or a bonfire can double the possible size of these magical walls. These magical walls are hastily and roughly assembled and will collapse after 10 minutes or once you stop [[concentration|concentrating]] on maintaining the wall.
-  * Magic Walls: In a battle, this spell may be used to create a wall of fire, stone, seawater, or air. Fire walls don't prevent passage such as a stone wall, but it can be used to inflict damage. Air walls protect against missile attacks and certain magics by providing a one-way mirror effect, while water walls can do a limited version of all three depending on whether the water is liquid, solid, or gas.
+      * A stone wall prevents passage and is opaque. It requires 10/level points of bludgeoning damage to knock through one 10'x10' section. Additionally, you may use your [[actions|Quick action]] to force everyone within 10' of one side of the wall to make a DEX check or take 1/level acid damage.
-  * Passage: Create holes in walls, or clear a space to travel through a body of water.
+      * Fire walls don't prevent passage, and are transparent, but automatically inflict 1D8/level fire damage as any physical being passes through it. Additionally, you may use your [[actions|Quick action]] to force any number of targets you choose within 10' of either side of the wall to make a CON check or take 1D4/level fire damage.
+      * Air walls don't prevent passage, but are completely opaque to one side, while being transparent on the other. Any missile weapons may only be successfully fired through the wall from those who have the transparent view, as the wall grants full cover to those firing blindly through the opaque side. Additionally, you may use your [[actions|Quick action]] to force any number of targets you choose within 10' of either side of the wall to make a INT check or take 1D6/level lightning damage.
+      *  Water walls are made of rapidly shifting water and ice. They deal 1D6/level points of cold damage to those who don't first crack through it with 5/level points of bludgeoning damage first. Both enemy and ally alike may  still attack through the wall in both directions at disadvantage.   Additionally, you may use your [[actions|Quick action]] to force any number of targets you choose within 10' of both sides of the wall to make a CON check or take 2/level cold damage.
+  * Passage: Create holes in walls, or clear a space to travel through a body of water or across a gout of lava or burning flame.
+  * Construction or Excavation: By using the ability to manipulate earth and rock, you may use your powers to construct rough earthworks and moats at lower levels, rising to the ability to conjure and work stone and water into fortifications and dams at later levels.
   * Crafting: This spell can be a significant aid in magical crafting.
-This spell requires an appropriate talisman appropriate for the particular element being manipulated.
