8. Phasewalk

J'Ungol Cycle

Spider Cultists only

BTS: 68% (At)

ULT: 100 hrs

Materials: Three different things related to spiders, one of which must be something one would think only a madman would carry

Actions: touch Materials to each other

Effect of Throw:

>= 18 Max Speed of Ethereal Form = (T/3) ft/sec FRD

Duration: 18t min - t(t-1)/2

Range: 3d ft -(4+d(d+1)/2) If cast on self, there is no Range minus. If cast on others, Range is at least 0 ft, so there will be a Range minus of at least -4.

Notes:

  1. The Spell may be cast on one Target only.
  2. A successful cast of the Spell allows the Target to move his current form (physical or spiritual, as at time of Casting) between the Real Plane, Ethereal Plane and Spider Kingdom by 1 sec's light concentration at any time during the Duration.  The Spell does not allow simultaneous presence on more than one plane.
  3. See the rules on the Ethereal Plane for more detail thereon.
  4. At the end of the Duration, the Target is translated from his current Plane to the equivalent point on the Plane he was on when the Spell was Cast.
  5. Multiple Ethereal effects are not cumulative, but the Target has the highest Max Speeds of and the longest Duration on all such effects upon him.
  6. The Spider Kingdom is variously known as The Gossamer Realm, The Web World, The Spinney,  J'Ungol (amongst the Spider Cultists of the Jungle) or  Ungwenórë (Quenya).  It is an Otherworld with close links with the Realm of Madness (Domain of MORCOR) and the Dreamworld of Nightmare (Domain of KASHAT).  It does not have the same direct physical correspondence as between the Real and Ethereal Planes.
  7. Phasewalk does not confer any Webwalking effect or Protection from Madness.  If an area of the Spider Kingdom that is within the Realm of Madness is left by Phasewalking, it is equivalent to Teleporting out (even if in one's spiritual form).
  8. It is whispered that the death of one's physical form in the Spider Kingdom does not return one's soul to the House of Karma...
