Lester's Rambling Run—Illusionist (Wiz 2; Alteration, Illusion/Phantasm)
Range: 0
Components: V, S
Duration: 3 rds. + 1 rd./level
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: The caster
Saving Throw: None
This spell provides the wizard with an amazing fleetness of foot, although he is also rendered goofy looking also. The run causes the caster's legs to become a blurring windmill, turning around in complete circles (Remeber the old Scoobie Do cartoons...lol). The caster's movement rate is doubled (x2) for the duration of the spell, so a wizard with a movement rate of 12 would be able to run at a rate of 24 while the spell was in effect. The wizard does not have to move while the spell is in effect, but if he moves at all, his unnatural speed prevents him from taking any other action other than running--in other words, he can't take a half move and throw a missile, or charge cast a spell, or do anything else except move.
In addition to the running abilities, this spell can also mask it's recipient in a change self spell to better allow him to escape or perplex those that are chasing him.
The wizard cannot increase his movements further by any means, including additional movement affecting magical spells or items.
Notes: This spell was created by Lester Lesserspell and is restricted to Illusionists; uncommon.
