Notes:

  1. The Spell may be cast on one Target only.
  2. In the second after the last second of Casting a successful cast of the Spell projects an Astral form of the Target and all possessions he is carrying as encumbrance to the equivalent point on the Astral Plane to that on the Plane he was on when the Spell was Cast.  His body and actual possessions remain on the latter Plane.  An invisible Astral cord connects the Astral form to the body.  Astral cords are not easily found or cut.
  3. The Target's consciousness is in his Astral form.  His body is unconscious.
  4. The Target may move in three dimensions on the Astral Plane at up to Max Speed by using light concentration. The Astral forms of his possessions have no weight or encumbrance effects.
  5. In the second after the last second of Duration the Spell returns the Target to his body, and his Astral form disappears, provided the Astral cord still connects him.  If the Caster was the Target, he may terminate the Duration at any time by 1 sec's heavy concentration.  If the Astral cord no longer connects him, he can only return to his body from its equivalent point on the Astral Plane, whether or not the Duration has expired.
  6. The Astral Spell may be Cast on a Target who is already on the Astral Plane.  Multiple Astral effects are not cumulative, but the Target has the highest Max Speed of Astral movement and the longest Duration on the Astral of all Astral effects upon him.  The Caster may terminate the Duration of multiple Astral Spells of which he was his own Target by 1 sec's heavy concentration only.  If the Target is in Astral form only when an Astral Spell is Cast upon him, his unconscious body remains on the Astral, and he gains a second conscious Astral form connected to it by an Astral cord.
