Stick
School: Transmutation Level: All Arcane Casters 0
Casting Time: One standard action
Components: V,S
Range: One object/surface touched
Target: One item weighing 1/2 lb/level and a surface to stick it on.
Duration: 1 hour/level
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (object)

A caster places this spell upone a small object and a solid surface, usually a wall. This allows the caster to place the object on the wall and leave it unattended for one hour per level. Primarily developed by adventuring mages to hang lanterns during sleep periods, many other applications have been developed from hanging pictures to practical jokes.
This spell has no effect on non-solid or magical surfaces such as water or wall of force.

Feedback appreciated, as always.


I want to use this for Delayed Bombs... or "Kick Me" signs.[/evil grin]

The bomb is the first thing my wife thought of.


Would a Shrunk Item be a magical surface? I think it is a wonderful spell.

I like the spell. I think I like it mainly because it probably has lots of handy uses that I haven't thought of yet.

I think it could use a little more clarifying text. I am assuming that anyone can automatically remove it from the wall if they can exert enough force to overcome the 1/2 pound limit. This means you can't attach handholds to climb a wall and such. Can you attach an item to horizontal surfaces. The ceiling for example.

I am picturing lightweight things stuck to the floor that don't budge when you move through them. This could be used as a trip effect, although only at the DM's judgement. I'm just imagining someone kicking a can that doesn't budge (because they didn't kick it with enough force).

Finally, I'd like to see a Greater Stick spell that can hold enough weight to support people for climbing and such. 2nd-ish level maybe.

I would not consider a shrunken item as a magical surface unless it was magical to begin with.

It would work on Horizontal surfaces, like a ceiling.

It would not hold up to pressure, such as a climbing body or a kick. I would say a DC5 STR check to move/remove an item that has been "stick"ed.

I really appreciate the feedback, guys. Thanks a lot and keep them coming.
