Rolling Ring Group Tactic

As one could guess from the title, this is not a weave, but a tactic. It is a method for a large number of men channeling in conjunction to wreak a great deal of damage to enemy forces. It would require at the very least three men to perform.

Working together, several men would form a semi-circle (or a full circle if there were enough men and the circumstances merit it). Each man would channel flows of fire and earth twisted together in a thick braid to form his section of the circle and cast the weave into the ground in front of him, sending it outward in waves in time with the other men. It is important that the men work in rhythm, much like a rowing crew.

The results of this tactic are that the ground ripples away from the men in a wave much like a wave in the ocean or the ground in an earthquake. Mingled in with the heaving and rolling ground are gouts of fire and molten rock which fountain up at random intervals. Someone else describes it as a tidal wave of superheated, flaming dirt. Against a tightly packed formation, this tactic is devastating.

Although this is certainly the most spectacular thing men are taught to do in the Black Tower, it has only limited usefulness. It is effective only against close range, tightly packed formations. It is invaluable in those situations, but these things do not occur very often in our roleplay.
