The caster presses their body against a stone surface — a cliff face, a boulder, a stone wall — and begins a droning, resonant chant that harmonizes with the deep vibrations of the earth itself. Their breathing slows to match the geological patience of stone. Over the course of the ritual, the caster's body temperature drops and their skin takes on a faintly grey, mineral sheen. They press harder into the stone, and the stone begins to yield — not cracking, but softening like warm wax to accept the caster's form. The sensation is described as sinking into a warm bath of immense pressure: constricting but not painful, dark but not frightening. The caster's consciousness expands to fill the stone around them — they can feel vibrations, footsteps, the tap of a hammer, the slow creep of water through cracks. Emerging is like being born from the earth: the stone releases them gently, and they step out as if through a curtain.
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 damage to you. If expelled, you fall prone in an unoccupied space closest to where you first entered.
