Stone Ladder

Effect	The caster imbues their hands to be able rapidly turn small sections of rock and stone on a wall into gravel and sand, leaving behind hand and foot holes for themselves and others to climb. The volume impacted by each usage is limited to what the caster could easily hold in their hand, regardless of weight. For example a Faerie would create far smaller holes than a human. Using these handholds provides a +Rank bonus to Athletics checks attempting to climb the ladder.
