Weight Concentration (Wizard Spell)

When this spell is cast, the witch curses up to ten creatures or objects within the area of effect with in­creased weight. Flying creatures are grounded. Living creatures are severely encumbered: this re­duces their movement to 1, penalizes their attack rolls by 4, and penalizes their AC by 3. A successful saving throw vs. spell negates the effect.
The DM decides the effect of the spell on ob­jects: buildings or furniture could be severely damaged by having very heavy items suddenly crushing them, wagons or war engines may become too heavy to move, etc.
A dispel magic spell has no effect on this spell, but a remove curse can counter it.
The reverse of this spell is weight dilution. Up to ten creatures or objects in the area of effect can be reduced to one-tenth of their normal weight. Strong winds and other forces can easily sweep away affected creatures or objects. A successful saving throw vs. spell negates the effect.
The material component is a miniature set of scales.
Notes: Restricted to witches, uncommon.
