Mines for you, where you aim, and the level picks the shape. Mine I takes the single aimed block. Mine II takes a 3x3 face. Mine III takes the connected vein of whatever block you aim at, ore, logs or plain stone, up to 64 blocks. Mine IV bores from where you stand: a tunnel, a staircase or a shaft depending on whether you look level, up or down, placing torches, stairs and ladders from your own inventory as it goes.
Drops follow normal tool rules, using the pickaxe in your off hand, with its Silk Touch or Fortune; its durability is never spent. With no pickaxe there you mine as if with a stone one, and a block your tool cannot harvest is still cut but drops nothing. Your main hand is what the spell places, such as a torch or stair; ladders come from anywhere in your inventory. It never breaks bedrock, or blocks where you are not allowed to build.
