You lay your hand upon the earthen ballista, allowing your magical senses to drift through your fingertips and seep into its very depths. Near the point where the ballista meets the natural earth, you notice several normal rocks which will serve well as ammunition. Mentally grasping the nearest portions of the magic pattern, you coax them to seek one and draw it inside the ballista.
The earthen ballista grinds with the sound of stone on stone as a large rock rises up from within it and sets itself atop the launching device.
Roundtime: 4 seconds.

[Mer'Kresh, Sahra Bridge]
The rising and falling humps that line the sides of Sahra Bridge prove to be the stone forms of dolphins, decoratively added to the cresting arch of the bridge. As the bridge curves down to the street, the sideguards flare in either direction, each capped with an iron brazier set into their ends. A seashell mosaic spirals between, the normally bright shades of blue and green dusty from traveling wagons.
You also see a large rock, some carved oak rings, a heavy earthen ballista, a heavy earthen ballista with a small granite boulder on it, a heavy earthen ballista with a small granite boulder on it, a heavy earthen ballista with a small granite boulder on it and a construction barricade.
