Grease
(Conjuration)
Level: 1
Range: 10 yards
Components: V, S,M
Duration: 3 rds. + 1 rd./level
Casting Time: 1 segment
Area of Effect: 10 x 10 feet
Saving Throw: Special
A Grease spell covers a material surface with a slippery layer of a fatty, greasy
nature. Any creature entering the area or caught in it when the spell is cast
must save vs. spell or slip, skid and fall. Those who successfully save can reach
the nearest non-greased surface by the end of the round. Those who remain in
the area are allowed a saving throw each round until they escape the area.
The GM should adjust saving throws by circumstance; for example, a creature
charging down an incline that is suddenly greased has little chance to avoid the effect,
but its ability to exit the affected area is almost assured! The
spell can also be used to create a greasy coating on an item - a rope, ladder
rungs, weapon handle, etc. Material objects not in use are always affected by
this spell, while creatures wielding or employing items receive a saving throw
vs. spell to avoid the effect. If the initial saving throw is failed. the creature
immediately drops the item. A saving throw must be made each round the
creature attempts to use the greased item.
The caster can end the effect with a single utterance; otherwise, it lasts for
three rounds plus one round per level. The material component of the spell is
a bit of pork rind or butter.
