Rod of the Terra Firma

The Rod of the Terra Firma is a tool featured in Botania. It draws Mana from a Mana Tablet in the player's inventory and flattens and levels the ground to where the player is standing by either removing blocks or placing Dirt.

When the use key is held down, the rod will attempt to flatten the land in a 33x33x33 volume. It will fill the area 17 blocks below the player by placing Dirt on top of any blocks it finds, and remove all natural blocks 16 blocks above the area. When filling, it will try to alter the land as naturally as possible. Blocks that have been removed by the rod are nonrecoverable. Cost of removing or creating blocks is 55 Mana per block.

The Rod will not function if the player attempts to use it below the sea level.

Wearing the full set of Manaweave Robes will increase the area to 45x45x45 (23 blocks below, 22 above) and reduce the Mana cost by 35%.

Blocks affected by this process are: Dirt, Stone, Gravel, Sand, Grass, Mycelium, Podzol, Snow layers, Sandstone, Hardened Clay, Diorite, Granite, Andesite, Marble and Limestone.

Lastly, this rod can provide the Rod of the Shifting Crust with Dirt for 75 Mana per block.
