    This is borderline-canonical.

    Name: Calm

    P/W/C Type: Wisdom

    Appearance: N/A

    Description of Function: The caster may calm the weather and the elements all around him.

    Limitation: Does not interfere with active magic, only naturally occurring elements or elements which were once magical but are now natural.

    Could you stop a volcano with this?

    I suppose that depends on the power limitation you want on it. I hadn't thought of that- the biggest I had thought of was storms, which the spell would smooth over.

    If you wanted, you could put a Specialty: [Fire] addition that allowed you to calm volcanoes in addition to weather. Unless I'm not thinking of something, though, it seems like the description could simply read "Can calm the weather." Elements is suggestive of things like volcanoes, geysers, earthquakes, and so on, which gets a lot trickier.

    Oh, I was thinking of fires, floods, spell-effects that were no longer under magical control (like a Din's Burst setting something on fire or w/e), not that kind of elements.

    For simplicity and general balancing sake (and closer to canon, as far as I can see) I would prefer to just keep this to weather, then. Things like fires and floods can either be dealt with in other ways or are otherwise much bigger than the character, and I would feel more comfortable keeping this simply at the lowest common denominator.
