Effect: When this
spell is cast,
the magic-user
causes an opaque sphere of force to come into being around his or her person,
half of the sphere projecting
above the ground or floor surface, the lower hemisphere passing through
the surface.
This field causes the interior
of the sphere to maintain at 70°
F. temperature in cold to 0° F.,
and heat up to 105°
F.
Cold below 0°
lowers inside temperature on a 1 for 1 basis,
heat above 105°
raises the inside temperature likewise.
The tiny hut will withstand
winds up to 50 m.p.h. without being harmed,
but wind force greater than
that will destroy it.
The interior of the tiny
hut is a hemisphere,
and the spell caster can
illuminate it dimly upon command,
or extinguish the light
as desired.
Note that although the force
field is opaque from positions outside,
it is transparent from within.
In no way will Leomund's
Tiny Hut provide protection from missiles, weapons, spells, and the like.
Up to 6 other man-sized
creatures can fit into the field with its creator,
and these others can freely
pass in and out of the tiny hut without harming it,
but if the spell caster
removes himself from it, the spell will dissipate.
MC: A
small crystal bead
which will shatter when
spell duration expires or the hut is otherwise dispelled.

James: 7. You once
had a long-running series of columns in Dragon entitled "Leomund's Tiny
Hut," many of whose articles were highly regarded and much loved.
How did that column start
and what was its intended focus?
Len: I think it was Tim Kask who approached me to write a regular column for The Dragon, but I'm not 100% certain it was he. In any case, I had already been published in The Dragon by this time, issue 1 and issue 3, which included “Notes on Women & Magic.” I wrote the majority of the "Leomund" spells and they were edited by Gary and appeared in AD&D. I did not create “Leomund's Endless Belaborment,” however. (They paid by the word, so of course I added some detail. Ahem)
