Effect: By means of this spell, the magic-user conjures
up an extra-dimensional dwelling, entrance to which can be
gained only at a single point of space on the plane from which the
spell was cast. From the entry point, those creatures observing the
AREA will see only a faint shimmering in the air, an AREA of some 4' in
width and 8' in height. The caster of the spell controls entry to the
manshion, and the portal is shut and made invisible<l> behind him when
he enters. He may open it again from his own side at will. Once observers
have passed beyond the entrance, they will behold a magnificent foyer and
numerous chambers beyond. The place will be
furnished and contain sufficient foodstuffs to serve a nine-course
banquet to as many dozens of people as the spell caster has levels of experience.
There will be a staff of near-transparent servants, liveried
and obedient, there to wait upon all who enter. The atmosphere and
temperature will be clean, fresh, and warm.

Since the place can only be entered through its special portal, outside
conditions do not affect the manshion, nor do conditions inside it pass
to the plane beyond. Rest and relaxation within the place is normal,
but the food is not. It will seem excellent and be quite filling as long as
one is within the place. Once outside, however, its effects disappear
immediately, and ravenous hunger will strike unless the individuals
actually ate normal food. For each imaginary meal taken inside the
manshion, the individual must spend 1 hour sitting and eating normal
fare. Failure to do so means that he or she has lost as many points of strength
as he or she ate meals wehn in the manshion-like space. Such
strength loss is restorable upon eating as noted, but this must be
done within 6 hours or the loss of strength will be permanent.

(It is worth mentioning that this spell has been used in conjunction
with a normal portal, as well as with illusion magic. There is evidence
that the design and interior of the space created can be altered to suit
the caster's wishes.)

MC: The components for this spell are a miniature portal carved from ivory,
a small piece of polished marble,
and a tiny silver spoon.
These are utterly destroyed when the spell is CAST.

UW: At the casters option,
the manshion can be filled with water, or the
membrane can prevent the influx of water,
leaving the manshion's interior tidy and dry.
