 ======Erosion======
 ====Class Feature: Powered by Erosion====
   * For every benefit brought by an Erosion spell, a cost must be paid.
-  * The cost and benefit for each spell is listed individually below.
+  * This is a cost in time, represented by needing to spend a certain number of seconds [[:corerules#Concentration|concentrating]].
-  * So long as the cost can be paid, the spells may be used repeatedly.
+  * This Concentration requirement is listed below each spell.
-  * Where the cost involves losing seconds from one's death count, this is for the rest of the encounter only, and the player's death count resets at the end of the encounter
+  * With time, even the greatest of mountains may be eroded into dust.
-  * You cannot make your death count negative by paying a cost.
-  * If your death count is reduced 0 seconds and you are capable of bleeding out, you die immediately on dropping to 0 body hits.
