Summons the egg of a brutish lizard, just on the verge of hatching. So long as there are foes nearby and the caster remains adjacent to the egg, it will hatch several turns after being summoned to wreck havoc upon its summoner's foes. Even as a juvenile, a seismosaurus is a force to be reckoned with. It is nearly as hardy as a mountain, and its footfalls are capable of creating violent seismic shockwaves that deal considerable damage to non-flying enemies and may sometimes even cause them to lose their footing altogether. Zoologists famously considered this animal to have been extinct for centuries until copies of this spell were unearthed among the affairs of a misanthropic hermit who'd finally made the wrong noble's hair fall out. Several well-funded expeditions were launched in the wake of the discovery, but despite (or perhaps because of) the sometimes-violent competitiveness these naturalists had for each other, the location of the lizards' nesting grounds remains unknown to this day.

Summon Seismosaurus Egg is a level 4 Summoning/Earth spell which summons an egg that hatches into a seismosaurus after imprinting for a few turns. Imprinting requires the caster to stay near the egg while enemies are nearby.
