The passage will extend ten feet per level of the priest, and may be closed behind the priest or allowed to exist for the duration of the spell. Note that stone, metal, water, gas, or even fire are affected, though magical substances, sanctified areas and magically locked objects cannot be penetrated. The material component for this spell is an awl, which is consumed in the casting.
