{% tab title="Dominus Lapidis" %}
Every mountain, rock and inch of land is filled with the power of Geo, but those who can wield such powers freely are few and far between.
**Press**\
Commands the power of earth to create a **Stone Stele**.
**Hold**\
Causes nearby Geo energy to explode, causing the following effects:\
• If their maximum number hasn't been reached, creates a **Stone Stele**.\
• Creates a shield of jade. The shield's DMG Absorption scales based on Zhongli's Max HP.\
• Deals AoE Geo DMG.\
• If there are nearby targets with the Geo element, it will drain a large amount of Geo element from a maximum of 2 such targets. This effect does not cause DMG.
**Stone Stele**
When created, **Stone Stele** deals AoE Geo damage.\
Additionally, it will intermittently resonate with other nearby Geo constructs, dealing Geo damage to nearby opponents.\
The Stone Stele is considered a Geo construct that can both be climbed and used to block attacks.\
Only one Stele created by Zhongli himself may initially exist at any one time.
**Jade Shield**
Possesses 150% damage absorption against all Elemental and Physical damage.\
Characters protected by the **Jade Shield** will decrease the Elemental Resistance and Physical Resistance of nearby enemies within a radius by 20%. This effect can not be stacked with other instances of **Jade Shield**.

**Notes**
* Hits that resonate from other Geo constructs still proc the 4-piece Tenacity of the Millileth set.
* **Stone Steles** are considered a Geo construct that can be used to block attacks, or climb.
* Resonation can overlap to deal multiple instances of damage.
* **Stone Steles** resonate independently and with Geo Constructs from enemies, but they do not resonate with each other.
* The range for the resistance shred is \~3 Abyss tiles.
* At C0, Hold E does not re-snapshot an existing pillar; at C1 each Stone Stele snapshots on cast, meaning it's possible to have 1 unbuffed **Stone Stele** and 1 buffed **Stone Stele** at the same time.
* 4TotM does not increase the damage of the **Stone Stele** that procs the effect, because **Stone Stele** Snapshots.
* **Stone Stele** will not be placed and will be destroyed instead when Zhongli is standing on a high platform.
