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.

Total Weight Carried by all Targets: 1000w weight points -(w-1)  (excluding body weight of Targets)

Notes:

  1. The Spell may be cast on multiple Targets, who do not have to include the Caster.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. The Targets do not need to stay together, each remaining separately on the Ethereal Plane for the Duration.
  5. 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).
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
