I like this spell, but it concerns me. What bothers me about this spell is there is no way to determine the remaining duration of a disc. A disc poofing out in the world, dumping items everywhere, has kept me away from placing this spell in regular rotation.
After some extensive testing, I have a suggestion: An echo, roughly an in-game hour before the disc poofs, to alert the room of the up-coming poofing. Something along the lines of: "a floating disc flickers briefly as its magic begins to fade."
Thoughts?

Re: [Spell] Floating Disc
I agree with this. It was rather annoying when the spell waned and all my crap dropped while I was moving around the world.. I had to go all the way back and find out what particular room it dropped in the ocean.. Though, I'd prefer to be able to cast the spell again and instead of having it create another, restore the duration of the one present.

Re: [Spell] Floating Disc
The warning echo is a start, alot better than the aburpt poofing it does now. Being able to target current discs with the spell via "cast 'floating disc' disc" and extend the duration is an interesting idea for a second step.

One, I like the idea of a warning. Dropping equipment on the ground to be vulnerable during a crash is, in my opinion, a bad idea and was done away with during bulls strength for that very reason. A warning would be a great addition.
As to extending the duration instead of casting it again would be, if code-wise possible, another great addition. These two in tandem would make for a very useful spell.

You have my vote!
This way I can store all of Glim's corpses on my discs!
