This spell is partially lightens
goods placed upon a single mount. The effective
encumbrance
of all objects on the mount, including
riders, is
reduced by 1/2, in effect doubling the
amount of
weight the mount can carry.
A mount that suddenly finds itself carrying
1.5
its maximum load without the spell's protection
cannot
walk, slowly sinks to the ground, and stands
a 50%
chance of going lame. A mount suddenly
burdened by twice
its maximum load collapses to the ground,
suffering 1d6
points of damage and automatically going
lame.
MC: Lodestone an pinch of metal filings.
