4. Plant Door

Ranian Cycle

BTS: 31% (At)

ULT: 40 hours

Materials: a plant (the "Entry Plant") of the same species as target plant (the "Exit Plant"), and at least as high as the Caster, Passengers and possessions (though not necessarily as wide)

Actions: Passengers hold hands with Caster / each other, and Caster steps into Entry Plant in final second of Spell Casting, followed by Passengers.  They may bend down or crawl to comply with height restriction on Materials.

Effect of Throw:

1 to 14 No Effect

15 to 19 Max Distance ("D") = 5(T-14) ft

³20 D = 2(T-9) ft

Passengers: N living passengers -2N (in addition to Caster - must hold hands)

Weight: 600w weight points -w(w-1)/2 (excluding body weight of Caster and Passengers)

Notes:

  1. Allows the Caster and Passengers to step into the Entry Plant and out of the Exit Plant, which may be up to D ft away.
  2. The Caster must be able to perceive the Exit Plant sufficiently to instress specifically from it.  This will usually (but not necessarily) involve his having a line of sight to it.  It is not a prerequisite of the Spell that there be no obstacles between the Entry and Exit Plants, just that the Caster be able to target the Exit Plant in this way.  No actual instressing is required.
  3. The Entry and Exit Plants must be within the same Plane, unless the Caster has an effect or Power allowing him to move to the plane on which the Exit Plant is located (in which case the usual 2/3 ratio for casting between the Planes applies: see "Casting Spells between the Planes" in the General Magic-Using System).
  4. The Caster must always Plant Door himself.  If he saves, the Plant Door fails for all Passengers.
