Duration: 10t min - t(t-1)/2
Range: 3d ft -(4+d(d+1)/2) If Caster is a Target, there is no Range
minus. If Caster is not a Target, Range is at least 0 ft, so there will
be a Range minus of at least -4.
Number of Targets > 1: N living Beings -2N (must all be in
physical contact with each other, count Range to nearest to Caster)
Total Weight Carried by all Targets: 1000w weight points -(w-1) (excluding body
weight of Targets)
Notes:
- The Spell may be cast on multiple Targets, who do not have to include the
Caster.
- In the second after the last second of Casting a successful cast of the
Spell translates all Targets (unless they make a st) and all possessions
they are carrying as encumbrance to the equivalent points on the Ethereal
Plane to those on the Plane they were on when the Spell was Cast.
- Each 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.
- The Targets do not need to stay together, each remaining separately on the
Ethereal Plane for the Duration.
- In the second after the last second of Duration the Spell translates all
Targets and all possessions they are carrying as encumbrance from their
respective current points on the Ethereal Plane to the equivalent points on
the Plane they were on when the Spell was Cast. If the Caster was a
Target, he may terminate the Duration (in respect of himself and all other
Targets with who he is then in physical contact) at any time by 1 sec's heavy
concentration. The Duration may not be terminated in respect of a
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 Targets who are already on the Ethereal
Plane. Multiple Etherealness effects are not cumulative, but each
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.
