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.
