>= 25 Max Speed = (T/2)-11 ft/sec FRD
Duration: 10t min - t(t-1)/2
Range: 3d ft -(4+d(d+1)/2) If cast on self, there is no Range

Notes:
- The Spell may be cast on one Target only.
- In the second after the last second of Casting a successful cast of the
Spell translates the Target and all possessions he is carrying as
encumbrance to the equivalent point on the Ethereal Plane to that on the
Plane he was on when the Spell was Cast.
- The Target may move in three dimensions on the Ethereal Plane at up to Max
Speed by using light
concentration. Weight carried in
excess of Carrying Capacity reduces Max Speed in accordance with the Encumbrance
system as it does speed of movement on the ground.
- In the second after the last second of Duration the Spell translates the
Target and all possessions he is carrying as encumbrance from his current
point on the Ethereal Plane to the equivalent point on the Plane he was on
when the Spell was Cast. If the Caster was the Target, he may
terminate the Duration at any time by 1 sec's heavy
concentration. The Duration may not be terminated in respect of
the Target or any of his possessions by applying wine (which washes off Oils
of Etherealness only).
- Physical obstacles do not block translation. Translating to the same
point as that occupied by another Being or a mobile object will normally
displace that Being or object. Translating into a solid immovable
object (e.g. solid rock or a wall) can be fatal. There are no natural
physical obstacles on the Ethereal Plane.
- The Spell may be Cast on a Target who is already on the Ethereal
Plane. Multiple Etherealness effects are not cumulative, but the
Target has the highest Max Speed of Ethereal movement and the longest
Duration on the Ethereal of all Etherealness effects upon him. The
Caster may terminate the Duration of multiple Etherealness Spells of which
he was his own Target by 1 sec's heavy
concentration only.
