With this spell, the caster creates the slightly concave, circular plane force jokingly referred to as Haarpang's Floating Cart (after the famous cripple who found it difficult to get around with all his scroll cases and magic tomes.). The 'cart' is actually a hovering disc approximately 3 feet in diameter which can bear 100 pounds of weight per level of the magic-user casting the spell. The 'Cart' floats approximately 3 feet above the ground at all times and remains level. It floats along horizontally within range of 20 yards at the command of the caster, and will accompany him at a movement rate of no more than 6.

If unguided, it maintains a constant interval of 6 feet between itself and the magic-user. If the spellcaster moves beyond range (by moving faster, by such means as a Teleport spell or by trying to take the cart more than 3 feet from the surface beneath it), or if the spell duration expires, the floating cart winks out of existence, and whatever it was supporting crashes to the surface beneath it. There is, however, a 10% chance when the cart vanishes it will take anything it was supporting with it. Such items are forever lost and are usually deposited in a random Type II bagzone. The material component of the spell is a drop of mercury.
