Reminds me of the 3e spell, "what armed soldiers"

Subsume the Irritating Hovel
Muto Terram 20 / Auram, R: Voice, D:Mom, T: Part

This spell alters the ground within the target area so that it is briefly transformed into air, and then quickly back again. Anything within the target area will fall as they lack the foundation of the earth.
The spell will affect mud, sand, dirt and stone, and anything upon these surfaces will be quickly buried and also potentially wreck a buildings stability.

If the spell is targeted beneath a specific spot, such as beneath a particular person a targeting roll is required. The effect is designed to create a cubic area, with a volume of 100 cubic paces of earth (5x5x4 paces), or 10 cubic paces of stone (roughly 2.2 paces per side). The difficulty of the targeting roll should be adjusted accordingly.
(Base 3 to change in to a liquid and add Au req, +1 to affect stone, +1 area increase, R: Voice +2, T: Part +1)

and for the more personal touch, a smaller effect area.

and then needing to loot the bodies

Exhume the Bounty of the Earth
Muto Terram 30 / Rego, R: Touch, D: Conc, T: Part

This spell alters the ground within the target area so that it forces all materials it contains to its surface and ejects them. Everything unlike the surrounding earth is slowly pushed to the surface touched by the caster. While this spell does not directly affect any other non-terram materials, the unnatural quality of the enchanted surrounding material can still move other items. Heavier items may move more slowly, requiring the caster to concentrate for many rounds.

The spell effects stone and glass surfaces, as well as dirt, sand, and mud. This spell is excellent for exhuming lost items, coffins, and the like; although the gracefulness of the approach is questionable.

The spell affects up to 100 cubic paces of earth, or up to 10 single cubic paces of stone or glass; with a final shape and size determined by the caster.
(Base 4 to change earth so it is highly unnatural and adding Rego req, +1 to affect stone and glass, +1 to allow flexibility in shape and size, +1 to increase the area effected, R: Touch +1, D: Conc +1, T: Part +1)
