-Once conjured, the disc will follow along wherever the caster wishes to go, though it must stay within the spell's range or the dweomer collapses.  It can move at a slow walking speed, up to 10 [[Combat Hex|hexes]] per round.
+However, the disc can only glide horizontally when travelling.  It cannot climb steps on it own or other vertical surfaces.  However, the material of the disc can be unloaded and "portaged" over obstructions; the empty disc can then be physically "carried" up a slope or flight of stairs, which takes little difficulty, as the weight of the unloaded disc is but 10 lbs.  Once placed again, it can be reloaded and travel may continue.
-It must have a flat surface on which to move; if the disc can shift to protect it's load, it will, but anything angle above 15° and the disc tumbles its contents and disappears.  Thus the disc has limited usefulness over rough terrain.
+The disc offers no defense against the elements.  To safeguard transported goods from rain or snow, an additional tarp or covering is necessary, the weight of which must be accounted for in the disc's carrying limitations.  The disc does not increase size as its weight potential increases; and however much is stacked upon it, the load will never appear to be more than three feet wide and two feet high.  In this way, the disc acts like a [[Bag of Holding|bag of holding]], shifting material at the bottom into an alternate, undefined [[Plane of Existence|plane of existence]].
-The disc can be used as a place to sit or rest, but as it tends to wobble when weight is shifted atop it, it won't serve as a platform to [[Attacking in Combat|fight from]].  A small enough person or pet could easily sleep or rest on it, but the disc offers no protection against the weather; a tarp is necessary to protect carried goods from rain and snow.

+The disc can also be used to move persons — carefully — in a horizontal manner at the disc's normal movement rate, but such persons must remain still during this transport.  As explained above, at high levels a potentially large number of such persons may be moved, each "fitting" on to the disc despite their actual shape and bulk.
