Stairway (Wizard Spell)

This spell creates a shimmering, transparent 10-foot-wide stairway that ascends or descends up to 10 feet per level of the caster. The stairway can be narrower than 10 feet, but not wider. Additionally, the caster can opt to have the stairway steep or gradual; the stairs can be no steeper than 60 degrees and no more gentle than 30 degrees.
The stairway can support 400 pounds, plus an additional 10 pounds per caster level. The stair­way vanishes if its weight limit is exceeded. Otherwise, the stairway lasts for one turn, plus one turn per level of the caster, unless dispelled.
The material components are a quartz crystal, powdered silver, and powdered talc.
