The Pattern can be any image with any colors, but it must include a circle which forms the outer edge. The Pattern can be any ` radius, but the cost of making the Pattern is dependent on the materials used - so bigger Patterns cost more. The Pattern can be woven into cloth, painted onto cloth or a hard surface, or inlaid into a hard surface. The Pattern must be at least 1 yard in diameter with no maximum size. The cost to make a Pattern is equal to the square yards of the Pattern times the amount below: ___Material______ _Cost__ _Time__ _Save__ Painted on Cloth: 5 Silver 1 hour 15 Woven into Cloth: 1 Gold 10 hours 12 Woven into Rug: 2 Gold 15 hours 10 Painted on Wood: 1 Gold 3 hours 10 Painted on Stone: 2 Gold 4 hours 8 Inlaid in Wood: 3 Gold 12 hours 5 Inlaid in Stone: 5 Gold 16 hours 2 Patterns cannot be repaired, they must be remade completely. Patterns can be moved (assuming the material can be moved as one unit) without damage. The Save listed is the save the Pattern must make when used for transport (See Malta's Pattern Transport for details) - the material saves normally for any other damaging situation. Malta's Pattern Image Level: 2 Casting Time: 1 hour Duration: See Below Component: V,S,M Saving Throw: None Range: 0 Area of Effect: One Pattern Description: With this spell, the caster can imprint the size and image of an undamaged Pattern. This imprinted image can later be used by the caster to create a matching Pattern of his own. The imprinted image can be recalled by the caster for upto 1 month per caster's level (at casting time). If this time is exceeded, or the caster creates a matching Pattern (even if different size), then the imprinted image is dispelled. This spell is necessary to create an exact size matching Pattern if the original Pattern is not present for the creation of the matching Pattern. The caster can have upto one imprinted image/size per level at a time. Malta's Pattern Transport Level: 3 Casting Time: 1 turn Duration: Instantaneous Component: V,S,M Saving Throw: None Range: 0 Area of Effect: See Below Description: With this spell, the caster can move himself and other materials from one Pattern to another Pattern. The two Patterns must have the same image and the destination Pattern must be at least as big in radius as the source Pattern. Both Patterns must be known to the caster (current locations) and they must be laid flat. The destination Pattern must not be supporting any object (even partially). The destination Pattern must also be uncovered such that there is room for the incoming creatures/objects. If all of the above conditions exist, then casting the spell will transport the caster and any objects/creatures which are completely supported by the source Pattern to the destination Pattern. All objects transported will end up on the destination Pattern at the same ratio of distance to the edge as on the source Pattern. That is, if an object is halfway from the center to the edge on the source Pattern, then it will be halfway from the center to the edge on the destination Pattern (regardless of the size of the destination Pattern). An object is considered to be completely supported by the pattern when its weight is supported by the material inscribed in the outer circle of the Pattern or by something which is itself completely supported. That means that a person held in the air by another will be transported only if the holder is completely supported. Flying creatures must not be flying at the time of transport. To cast the spell, the caster must stand in the center of an undamaged Pattern and cast the spell. In the first round of the casting, the Pattern will begin to glow (each color of the Pattern will emit its own color). Over the next eight rounds, the Pattern brightness will increase to approximately the same as outside on a sunny day. As the last word of the spell is stated, the brightness of the Pattern doubles and all completely supported objects/creatures are transported to the destination Pattern. If the destination Pattern is not available (see above), then the transported objects/creatures are returned to the source Pattern after one second (and the source Pattern's save is at -4). The source Pattern is subjected to some heat and other energies in the course of the transport. These energies cause the source Pattern to make a save or be damaged (a single crack or burn mark will alter the Pattern and render it unusable). The destination Pattern is not subjected to the same amount of energy, so it does not need to make a saving throw. The lighting conditions at the destination Pattern do not change, so the transported creatures will have to adjust to the current lighting (1-2 rounds, depending on lighting). Some notes: 1) Tossing a rug over an inlaid Pattern prevents incoming transports. 2) Rolling up a rug/cloth Pattern prevents incoming and makes it easier to transport the Pattern. 3) The only bi-directional Patterns are exactly the same size (hence the Pattern Image spell). 4) The caster must remain in the middle for all of the casting, but creatures/ objects also transported only have to be on the Pattern in the last segment. Stren's Improved Floating Disk Level: 3 Casting Time: See Below Duration: 3 turns/level Component: V,S,M Saving Throw: None Range: 0 Area of Effect: See Below Description: This spell is an improved version of Tenser's Floating Disk. The big improvement is the speed of the disk - now 30". The disk can also move from 3' to 30' off the ground/water. The disk movement is based relative to the caster, which prevents the caster from riding their own disk. However, if two casters use this spell, they can ride each others to travel. This travel can either be in the form of independent movement (tricky to communicate since somebody else is steering yours) or master-slave. In the master-slave travel, one caster steers a disk while he rides on a disk which stays the same distance from its caster. S1----S2----M Caster 1 is the master and riding in the back (caster 3's disk). Caster 2 is in the front riding on the master's disk - his own disk stays x feet behind him. Caster 3 rides in the middle and his disk also stays x feet behind him. Caster 1 steers the chain while the other two can sleep, eat, cast spells, etc. I have this written down at home, but I believe that all other parameters are the same as Tenser's Floating Disk. -- ============================================================================ Dean Dretske email: deand@intermec.com or uunet!pilchuck!intermec!deand Intermec Corporation PO Box 360602 Lynnwood, Wash. 98046-9702 ============================================================================
