Swim (Wizard Spell)

This spell allows the wu jen to give the recipient the ability to swim with the ease of a fish. The creature has a swimming rate of 12, and can carry a normal load of equipment with no difficulty. A normally outfitted character cannot drown while this spell is in effect. Excessive weight still causes the character to sink and drown normally, however. The spell does not impart the ability to breathe underwater.
==Sink==
The reverse of this spell, sink, reduces the swimming ability of the target by one class unless a successful saving throw vs. spell is made. Thus, natural swimming creatures are treated as land creatures trained in swimming, those with swimming proficiency are treated as without this ability, and those without swimming proficiency sink like stones.
==Material Component==
The material component for either spell is the scale of a goldfish.
Notes: Common in oriental settings; otherwise, very rare.
