an entire week. Any interruption negates its ef-

this spell has one year to create a circle of stones.
Failure to do so means the patron deity takes back
this (and all the priest’s other spells), never again
to be bestowed. (Theoretically,in an extraordinary

case of exceptional service, a disgraced priest
might he reinstated, but there is no evidence this
has ever happened.)

The deity allows only one attempt to construct a

circle. It must be collected after the stones have
been placed in position.
