Effect

  1. Change to Gaseous Form (or back) takes 1 sec, losing 10% Dam on each change.
  2. The body and at least 1000 wt pts of clothes and possessions become Gaseous.
  3. A Gaseous Form is incorporeal and therefore immune to physical damage and Enchanter Spells, but will be affected normally by area General Damage, such as Fire, Cold and Lightning.
  4. The Gaseous Form is greyish mist that can be seen through and is of the same size and appearance as the user's physical body (so Hides in Shadows normally).
  5. The user can move silently at up to 10 ft/sec through the air and change shape at will (e.g. to go through keyholes).  The Gaseous Form and movement in it are subject to the wind (see the General Notes for Air Spells).  Wind of 40 mph or greater (ignoring his own movement) will cause user to make a st every sec at BTS = (Windspeed)% (Co), which if failed will result in (no. by which failed) HP General Damage.  100% General Damage will fatally dissipate him.
  6. The user has his normal perceptions in Gaseous Form and can talk and Cast Spells with Words and Actions (but not most Materials).  He cannot pick up objects, and cannot therefore fight with corporeal weapons.  Beings in Gaseous Form cannot exchange Gaseous possessions with each other.
  7. Duration (non-Extendable) is 9 + d6 min (i.e. 10-15 min).  The user cannot change back voluntarily before expiry of the Duration.
