Eorthe Shackle (spell)

[Vivamort]

Eorthe Shackle

Transmutation [Earth]

Level: Earth 3, Sor/Wiz 4, Drd 3, Rgr 2

Components: V, S, M/DF

Casting Time: 1 standard action

Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)

Area: spreads in 20-ft. radius, 20 ft. high

Duration: 1 hour/level (D)

Saving Throw: Reflex

Spell Resistance: Yes

Any ground in the spell’s area becomes more difficult to transverse if any metal is worn by any creature in the effected area. The surrounding area of ground becomes magnetically charged and the encumbrance of all metal items is doubled in the area of the spell. Metal missiles that pass through the area have their range increments halved.

The terrain effected does not change its appearance nor is this effect detectable through normal means. Mounted creatures or those in flight can still be subject to the effects of Eorthe Shackle.


Arcane Material Component: A pinch of powdered lode stone

Interesting idea.

But the structure has some problems:

How much area, exactly, does this spell effect?

Should not this scale in some fashion based on the amount of metal armor worn? Does it effect, say, studded leather?

It might just be simpler to say that the encumbrance of all metal items is doubled in the area of the spell. And metal missile that pass through the area have their range increments halved.

Awsome suggestions. I will make the appropriate changes :)

The area of effect is a 20 foot radius at ground level but also the effect is 20 feet tall

Thanks!
