New page

'''Levitate''' enables the caster to affect any single living thing or object up to 100 lbs. per level of the caster. This movement is strictly vertical, either up or down. Unwilling creatures are entitled to a [[Saving Throws|saving throw]] against magic if they do not wish to be levitated.

{{Spelltable
| name = Levitation
| range = self
| duration = 10 rounds per level
| area of effect = 1 composite object, up to a distance of 10 ft. per level from the caster
| casting time = 1 [[Combat Round|round]]
| save = negates
| level = [[Mage 2nd Level Spells|mage (2nd)]]
}}

The movement rate cannot exceed 20 feet in a single round, but any lesser speed is equally possible. Movement cannot be both upwards and downwards in a single round. Multiple objects or creatures may not be moved with the spell.

To either stop or start movement, the caster must expend 1 [[Action Points|action point]]. The spell can be cancelled without any movement cost, allowing creatures to fall and suffer damage, or to smash objects or drop them on defenders.

Horizontal movement is not empowered by the spell, but if a creature is able to push or pull itself by some means, say along a vertical wall or with a rope, the levitation will continue to suspend the creature while this is done. [[Forte (spell)|Forte]], [[Gust of Wind (spell)|gust of wind]] or [[Push (spell)|push]] will also cause the affected creature or object to move. Objects levitated within reach from the ground can be pushed along—depending on their mass, they may be difficult to start moving, or difficult to stop once they've gained momentum.

+'''Levitate''' is a spell that allows  the caster to manipulate a single living being or object weighing up to 100 lbs. per caster [[Experience Level|level]]. This manipulation occurs exclusively in a vertical direction, either upwards or downwards. In the case of unwilling creatures, they have the opportunity to make a [[Saving Throws|saving throw against magic]] if they resist being levitated.

+Levitation doesn't allow horizontal movement — however, if a recipient can propel itself sideways by some other means, such as along a balustrade or pushing against a nearby wall, this is acceptable.  If a rope is thrown to the recipient, he or she can be pulled along.  [[Forte (spell)|Forte]], [[Gust of Wind (spell)|gust of wind]] or [[Push (spell)|push]], as well as other external forces, can also cause the affected object or recipient to move.

+Objects within reach from the ground can be nudged along; their mass may dictate the effort required to set them in motion or bring them to a stop once they've gained momentum.
