When a levitate spell is cast, the magic-user can place it upon his or her person, or upon some other creature, subject to a maximum weight limit of 1,000 gold pieces equivalence per level of experience, i.e., a third level magic user can levitate up to 300 pounds (3,000 g.p.) maximum. If the spell is cast upon the person of the magic user, he or she can move vertically at a rate of 20’ per round. If cast upon another creature, the magic- user can levitate it at a maximum vertical movement of 10’ per round. Horizontal movement is not empowered by this spell, but the recipient could push along the face of a cliff, for example, to move laterally. The spell caster can cancel the spell as desired. If the recipient of the spell is unwilling, that creature is entitled to a saving throw to determine if the levitate spell affects it. The material component of this spell is either a small leather loop or a piece of golden wire bent into a cup shape with a long shank on one end.
