Feather
Created Sunday 01 June 2014
The "Feather" line of spells lightens the weight of loads and makes movement easier.
"Feather" spells never stack with each other. The highest level spell takes precedence.
Note that these spells reduce arcane spell failure chance, and do not have a somatic component. Enjoy casting in armour without need of Still Spell!

Ulm's Albatross Feather
Evocation
Sor/Wiz/Clr/Drd 6, Brd 4

Components: V, M
Range: Touch
Target: Touched creature
Duration: 1 hour/level
Save: Will negates (harmless)
Spell resistance: Yes
The touched creature becomes as light as a feather.
The creature's body weight is reduced to 10% of normal. Their load weight is reduced by an amount equal to double the creature's heavy load capacity. (The creature and their equipment always weigh at least 1 lb.)
The creature's jumping distance is doubled. Their falling speed due to gravity never exceeds 10 ft/round. If the creature is launched into un-powered flight (i.e. using a catapult) they quickly slow down to 10 ft/round due to air resistance. The creature is easily blown around in a strong wind.
Maximum dexterity bonus, armour check penalty, arcane spell failure chance, and movement speed penalties due to armour or shields are calculated as if the creature was unarmoured. (Usually this means unlimited dexterity bonus, no ACP, no ASF, and full move speed.)
