Book of Dragum Alémen

[way (move, hasten) (immobilize, slow) (time) (manipulate)]

Dragum Alémen is the study of transportative magics (and time).  Wizards who have studied the art have become capable of moving vast distances in short time, often without the normal rigors associated with travel.

The art involves object to object relationships.  The act of making a creature of object levitate off the ground is a matter of changing the objects relationship with the ground from an "earth"-bound item to an "air"-bound item.  Such changes are nearly always temporary.  When the spell's Order inevitably fails natural law reverts the object's properties to what they once were (in this case, sending the object crashing to the ground).

Although teleportation is nearly impossible on Teréth End (it is classified under Inkàthura) there are many other means for powerful mages to move around the world.  Most forms of Alémen involve basic adjustments to time and space.  A hasted individual is desynchronized from the surrounding flow of events to enable her the ability to move more quickly.

Ducar's Diminished Movement (Slow) M1 (Regular; Resisted by HT)
The target of this spell takes twice as long do everything, until the spell expires.  Maintenance of the spell requires the attention of the casting sorceror.  The spell is cast with some intricate fingerwork of the left hand, and a bit of tortoise shell which is consumed during casting.  (5 pages)

Gulwyd's Invisible Shoulder (Apportation) M1 (Regular; Resisted by IQ)
A complex but fundamental spell among the Draga (Movement), Gulwyd's Invisible Shoulder moves an object without the caster having to touch it.  The caster makes moving motions with his hands, with fingers slightly splayed and crossed.  The precision of the motion is similar to pushing an object with one's shoulder.  The caster must physically exert 1 lb of pressure for every 5 lb of the object.  The spell cannot move objects heavier than 100 pounds.  (16 pages)
Duration	1 minute
Cost	1 <= 1 lb weight; 2 <= 10 lb weight; 3 <= 50 lb weight; 4 <= 100 lb weight; same maintain
Casting Time	5 seconds
Prerequisites	Old Taládan 13+, Magery 1

Gulwyd's Mighty Moving M1 (Regular; Resisted by IQ-2)
Based upon the spell, Gulwyd's Invisible Shoulder, this incantation has the advantage of allowing open-ended movement.  If the caster is willing or able to pay the extended costs, no object is too large or unwieldy.  The same restrictions of ST apply.  (5 pages)
Duration	1 minute
Cost	1 <1 lb weight; 2 <= 10 lb weight; 3 <= 50 lb weight; 4 <= 200 lb weight; 4 for each additional 100 lb; same maintain
Casting Time	5 seconds
Prerequisites	Gulwyd's Invisible Shoulder

Gulwyd's Unbearable Burden (Increase Burden) M1 (Regular)

Forthcoming...

Lachathradan #26 (Locksmith / Manipulate) M1 (Regular)
One of Nedral Lachathradan's Draga (Movement) series, this useful spell allows for the fine manipulation of objects.  The caster can manipulate an object at a DX level equal to his IQ.  Somatically, following the initial casting, the spell requires movement of the fingers to mimic the "deed" to be done.  The spell does not confer abilities or skills that the caster does not already know.  (10 pages)
Duration	1 minute
Cost	4 cast; same maintain
Casting Time	3 seconds
Prerequisites	Old Othic 12+, (Apportation)

Madcurth's Locktwister (Lockmaster) M1 (Regular)
Madcurth, a notorious Othic wizard-thief of the 5th century, left this spell to all his admirers upon his leaving of the palled city.  The spell allows the deftless to finagle locks and some magical seals without knowledge of lockpicking.  The spell requires a silver key that is energized beneath Mamra's full gaze once per month.  Failure to energize the key causes a lapse in its usefulness as a component for that month.  (8 pages)
Duration	Permanent
Cost	3 cast; no maintain
Casting Time	10 seconds
Prerequisites	Old Othic 14+, (Locksmith) or (Apportation & M2)

Narla's Gentle Descent (Slow Fall) M1 (Regular)

Duration	1 minute
Cost	1 per 50 lb cast; 1/2 cost maintain
Casting Time	1 second
Prerequisites	Old Candal 13+, (Apportation)
