Potion: Levitation

Materials

powdered Beholder carapace (one carapace makes 5 * (ML of Beholder) Potions)

Guideline Purchasing Price: 350GP for a whole Beholder carapace

(NB The Recipe only requires the powdered hide of any Levitating Monster, so Floating Eyes will suffice - though they produce proportionately less powder.)

Spell

Elementalist Levitate with a Throw giving a minimum of 22 (for 10 ft/sec)

Guideline Purchasing Price: 10GP+ 5GP per 5 ft/sec of Max. Speed achieved in excess of 10

Effect

  1. Cancels the normal downwards force of Gravity upon the taker, and allows him to levitate using light concentration at up to a Max. Speed of at least 10 ft/sec (dependent on T achieved on original Spell) up or down against or in the normal direction of Gravity in the area (as it may be changed by Reverse Gravity Spells or effects). Weight carried in excess of Carrying Capacity reduces Max. Speed as it does for movement on the ground.
  2. Max. Speed after taking is zero, with no upwards or downwards vector.  To change Max. Speed or vector requires at least one second's light concentration.  If the taker ceases to concentrate on levitating he will maintain his existing speed and vector.
  3. Any vectors given by other Gravity Spells or effects are cumulative with Levitate.  Where multiple Max. Speeds are in effect, count only those which are being concentrated upon.
  4. Acceleration and deceleration is at 1G.  For further explanation see the General Notes to Gravity Spells.
  5. Duration (non-Extendable) is 9 + d6 min (i.e. 10-15 min).
