Effect: This spell
is exactly the same as the 4th
level MU spell, Otiluke's
Resilient Sphere, with the addition
that the interior of the
globe is virtually weightless; i.e. anything contained
within it weighs only 1/16
of its normal weight.
Any subject weighing <size>
up to 5000# can be telekinetically
lifted in the sphere <v>
by the caster. Range of
control extends to a maximum distance of 1"
per level of the caster
after the sphere has actually succeeded in encapsulating
a subject or sbjects. Note
that even if more than 5000# <v>
of weight is englobed, the
essential weight is but 1/16 of actual,
so the orb can be rolled
without exceptional effort. Because of
the reduced weight, rapid
motion or falling within the field of the sphere is
relatively harmless to the
object therein, although it can be disastrous
should the globe disappear
when the subject inside is high above a
hard surface.
MC: In addition to
the [material] components for the resilient sphere,
the caster must have a pair
of small bar magnets in order to effectuate
this spell.
MC (Otiluke's resilient
sphere) : A hemispherical piece of diamond (or similar hard, clear
gem material)
and
a matching hemispherical
piece of gum arabic.
Q: Can a monster or
NPC trapped
within an Otiluke's resilient
sphere
or an Otiluke's telekinetic
sphere
cast any spells? If so,
can a dispel
magic
cast from inside the sphere
bring down the spell?
A: Yes, spellcasting
is possible while inside
the sphere. Though the spell
effect will
not penetrate the sphere,
the effect will
take place normally inside
it. Therefore,
dispel
magic cast from inside a sphere will
destroy it, assuming that
the sphere's
diameter does not exceed
the area of
effect of the dispel
magic.
