(Conjuration/Summoning)
Level: 1
Range: 10 ft. + 1 ft./level
Components: V,S,M
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 1 segment
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: Negates
Upon pronouncing the syllables of this spell, the magic-user causes an invisible
force to strike against whatever object he is pointing at. The force of the Push
is not great, being 2 foot-pounds per level of the magic-user casting the spell, but
it can move small objects up to 2 feet in a direction directly away from the caster,
topple an object under the proper conditions, or cause a creature to lose its
balance. An example of the latter use is causing a creature attacking to lose its
balance when it is attacking, for if the creature fails its saving throw, it will not
be able to attack that round. Of course, the mass of the creature attacking cannot
exceed the force of the Push by more than a factor of 50, i.e. a lesser level
magic-user cannot effectively push a creature weighing more than 100 pounds.
A Push spell employed against an object held by a creature will cause it to
subtract the force of the spell in foot pounds (2, 4, 6, etc.) from its chance to
hit or add to opponent saving throws as applicable if the creature fails to make
its saving throw against magic when the spell is cast. The material component
of this spell is a small pinch of powdered brass, which must be blown from the
palm prior to pointing at the object of the spell.
