Cling (Wizard Spell)

This spell allows the caster or another recipient to adhere to any surface, regardless of gravity, winds, weight, or slipperiness. This allows a slip­ping or leaping being who reaches a smooth stone, soapy, icy, or wet surface to stick fast.
The clinging being chooses a body area (e.g. back, hand, or the fingers of one hand) as the holding surface. As long as the holding surface doesn't move (that is, unlike a spider climb spell, the being cannot move about), the clinging effect remains firm, even if the being casts spells, read­ies weapons, ties knots, drives in spikes, or per­forms another activity.
The cling spell ends instantly if the spell recip­ient moves about or if the surface clung to is shat­tered. If the recipient is struck by, or burdened by, an object of greater weight than its own, a Strength check is forced: failure also means that the cling spell fails. The caster can end the spell with a word. This spell does not lessen falling damage in any way.
Notes: Common for drow; otherwise very rare.
