Elsewhere Chant (Priest Spell)

This spell transports two living creatures (one of whom may be the caster), or a creature and an item, or two items, to “elsewhere” from the place of casting. Travel is safe (akin to a wizard's teleport without error spell), but must be to a destina­tion on the same plane as the caster. If the caster desires, only one being or item can be moved by the spell, but if two are moved, they must go to dif­ferent destinations. A being can take worn or car­ried gear, but no more than 400 pounds total weight. An item can be a single thing, a container holding many objects, or any number of articles lashed together, but weighing not more than 400 pounds total. Nonliving material (chosen ran­domly) in excess of the weight limits is left behind, but a living being who exceeds the weight limit causes the spell to fail. This spell leaves behind parasites, rodents, and hidden creatures riding on a spell recipient, rather than failing be­cause of their presence.
If a priest casting an “elsewhere chant” takes a single round to unleash it, both affected beings or items are translocated to visible nearby destina­tions. This use of the spell often serves to put dis­tance between the caster and a foe. If the caster chants for two rounds when casting this spell, the travel of one or both recipients can be to any loca­tion on the same plane (that is, distant, out-of-view spots). Destinations must be to places the caster can currently see or has been in at a previous time, not merely the other side of a mountain or an un­known name on a map.
If a prohibited destination is chosen or some part of a recipient exceeds the limits of the magic, a random destination or part of the recipient to be excluded is determined (such things are never de­termined by the caster).
Notes: Granted by the god Milil, Lord of All Songs, of the Forgotten Realms setting. This spell is found only in a few exceptionally rare tomes.
