Arcane Study was submitted by Garry J. Sled on 5/17/98. Alteration, Conjuration Level: 3 Range: Touch Components: V, S, M Duration: 1 hour/level Casting Time: 1 turn Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None This spell is similar to Mordenkainen's magnificent mansion, in that it creates an area of extra-dimensional space. In this case, however, the arcane study spell creates only one room. In order to cast this spell, the mage must touch a section of wall. The wall must be made of wood, iron, or stone, or any combination thereof. The spell creates an magical doorway, visible only to the caster, and those he designates. The caster may designate 1 extra person for every 3 levels he possesses. The door will be visible to anyone employing spells such as detect invisibility, detect magic, or true seeing. Furthermore, any creature with an Intelligence of 19 or higher can see the door automatically. Anyone who can see the door can open it. The doorway leads to a single room. The room varies in size, and is 10' long on a side, + 2 feet per level of the caster. No furnishings, food or drink are created in this room. Only those items brought into the room will exist here. When the spell expires, anyone still in the room will be forcibly ejected back into the Prime Material Plane, suffering 1d6+10 hps of damage in the process. Furthermore, each character so ejected must pass a successful save vs. spells or be ejected into the Astral plane instead (the damage is not suffered in this case). The material components of this spell are a small iron cube and a piece of wool.
