Your magic springs from a mystical link between your soul and the magic of elemental earth. You might trace a distant ancestor to the Plane of Earth, or your family might have earned a mighty boon in return for a service to the dao lords. Whatever your past, the magic of elemental earth is yours to command.
Your link to earth magic grants you extraordinary resilience, and stoneblood sorcerers have a natural affinity for combat. A stone hammer feels like a natural extension of your body, and you have a knack for wielding weapons and magic in unison. In combat your place is amid the fray. You rely on your elemental nature to shield you from harm and control of earth and steel to overwhelm your foes.

As an action, you can plunge your hand into the earth and pull forth a weapon made of stone or metal. You can create a Stoneborn weapon in the form of any melee weapon you're proficient with.
You are unable to summon your Stoneborn weapon if you're not standing on, or unable to touch the ground, earth or stone. You can have up to two Stoneborn weapons, but can summon only one at a time with your action. If you attempt to summon a third Stoneborn weapon, one of the other two crumbles to dust.

You can't affect an artifact or a sentient weapon in this way. The weapon ceases being your Stoneborn weapon if you die, if you perform the 1-hour ritual on a different weapon (beyond the first two), or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it. The weapon erupts from the patch of earth or rock nearest to you when the bond breaks.
