-'''Material''' conjures common materials in a manner similar to [[Create Water (spell)|create water]], except that earth, stone or wood is brought forth.  These materials are raw and lack any sort of crafting or refining.  They appear as loose material in a pile, with the size and shape of single pieces or in broken pieces, shards or as powder.
+'''Material''' is a spell that conjures common substances in a manner similar to [[Create Water (spell)|create water]], except that it produces earth, stone or wood. The material appears at the point designated by the caster as loose matter — piled, scattered or heaped — consisting of raw, unworked substance. It is neither shaped nor refined, and takes the form of natural pieces: lumps, blocks, shards, fibres or powder, as appropriate to the material.

-The spell cannot create materials that are unusual or rare — some examples are given below, but the spirit of the rule is that ''common'' materials are possible, while all others are not.
+Only common materials may be conjured. Anything rare, processed or intrinsically valuable lies beyond the scope of the spell. The distinction is practical rather than technical: if the substance would normally require effort, rarity or specialised conditions to obtain, it cannot be produced.
 == Materials ==
-'''Earthen''' material may be clay, soil or sand; hardened clay may be conjured in rough-hewn blocks of any size up to the area of effect.  It may be suitably rich for growing plants or alkali and poisonous; chalk is possible.  Rare earths, however, such as witherite, cassiterite or other valuable ores cannot be created.
+:*'''Earthen''' material includes soil, sand, clay and chalk. The caster may produce loose earth or compacted masses, including rough blocks of hardened clay up to the limits of the spell's area. The composition may vary — fertile soil, dry sand or alkaline earth — but rare or valuable deposits such as witherite, cassiterite or other ores cannot be created.
-'''Stone''' may be of any variety, including granite, porphyry, limestone, slate, marble and so on.  Again, it can be fabricated in rough-hewn blocks, the sort that might occur in nature.  Gemstones cannot be created.
+:*'''Stone''' may be produced in any common form, including granite, limestone, slate, marble and similar varieties. It appears as rough blocks, fractured pieces or rubble, as though freshly quarried or broken from a larger mass. The spell cannot produce gemstones or any stone of unusual rarity or worth.
-'''Wood''' describes organic material that's effectively past growing, whether from trees, shrubs or other plants — such as rattan, hay or straw.  Both hard and soft woods are possible, but the spell cannot produce very rare woods like ebony, teak or rosewood.  Conjured wood appears as logs or branches.
+:*'''Wood''' refers to organic plant material that has ceased growing. This includes timber, branches, brush, rattan, hay and straw. Both hard and soft woods may be conjured, but rare or prized woods such as ebony, teak or rosewood are excluded. The material appears as cut or fallen wood — logs, limbs or bundled fibres — rather than worked planks or shaped components.
-== Use ==
+== Application ==
-The spell is useful for creating animal feed, firewood, sand or gravel for traction, earth to fill a cavity, blocks to close a passageway or provide cover, stones for throwing and so on.  Those with crafting skills can create objects from the material in the normal fashion.
+The spell is broadly practical. It may provide feed or bedding for animals, fuel for fire, sand or gravel for footing, or earth to fill gaps and trenches. It can produce stone or clay to block passages, create cover or supply material for throwing. While the spell does not create finished items, those with appropriate skills may work the conjured material by ordinary means, shaping it into useful forms after its creation.
