Flotation

Post by Hviti » Fri Sep 02, 2005 6:33 am

A spell like glowing/humming, this spell would allow an object to be worn "floating around the head" (Gems, dragon heads, etc.). There would be a weight limit determining how heavy an object the wizard wanted to affect could be; as the level in this spell increased, heavier objects would become floatable.

There are some fairly powerful items out there lightweight and readily used in this fashion, would it be unbalancing?

Er...I don't think the items would be very accessible while floating. You'd have to take them off and then use them...which would take about the same time as getting them out of a bag and then using them. Also, if you have a suit of magical armor floating around your head, it shouldn't affect you as if you were wearing it. Same goes for pretty much any magical object. (I'm not sure if items worn in other locations would affect the user, not being a coder)

Exactly what items do you envisage for this spell.. and to what end?

Mostly gems and small bits of jewelry

Mostly a show-offie piece for wizards, kind of like glowing is and resonance (if implemented) would be
