Effect: This spell
can only be cast when the magic-user has an earth
elemental conjured up,
but the elemental will not
react hostilely to co-operation with the spell caster when he or she announces
that his or her intent is to cast a distance distortion spell.
The magic places the earth
elemental in the area of effect,
and the elemental then causes
the area's dimensions to be distorted in either of two ways:
1) the area will effectively
be one-half the distance to those travelling over it, or
2) the area will be twice
the distance to those travelling across it.
The true nature of an area affected by distance distortion is absolutely undetectable to any creatures travelling along it.
Spell.detect magic: although the area will radiate a dim dweomer.
Spell.true seeing: and a true seeing spell will reveal that an earth elemental is spread within the area.
MC: Material needed for this spell is a small lump of soft clay.
Duration: When the spell duration has elapsed, the elemental returns to its own plane.
Effect.example: Thus
a 10' X 100' corridor could seem as if it was but 5' wide and 50' long,
or it could appear to be
20' wide and 200' long.
