This is an impressed spell. By manipulating the
inanimate forces knowledge, this spell makes it possible for a sorcerer to
increase the weight of an opponent, sending him crashing to the ground.
The effect value of this spell is equal to the force
that is pulling the target to the ground. To move, a creature must generate a Strength
total greater than the effect value of the spell. A flying creature that
fails its Strength action will plummet to the ground, taking a damage
value equal to the effect value of the spell plus the value of the distance
fallen. This spell is cast by holding a pebble in the palm of your hand and
then letting it drop to the ground as if it had grown too heavy to support. In
battle, the spell requires only a gesture in the direction of the target to be
released. If the casting total is greater than the Dexterity or dodge
value of the target, the spell will be effective.
