Cloud Chariot and Cloud Fortress

Pioneered by the wizard Malthalious the Inquisitor, these spells create magical flying clouds that can transport multiple people discreetly and in comfort.

Could Chariot
Conjuration (creation)
Level: Sor/Wiz 6, Air 6
Components: V, S
Range: Short
Effect: Cloud Chariot, 5sq ft / two levels
Duration: 1 hour/level

This spell conjures a magical flying cloud chariot that can transport multiple people. It is under the mental control of the caster, and can fly 40 ft with average maneuverability, but can also hover. When used to travel long distances, it can cover 8 miles per hour. The cloud chariot can transport one medium sized creature for every two caster levels. The chariot is 5 square ft. for every person it can transport. While the caster is not on the chariot, or is not mentally directing it (a free action), the chariot simply hovers in place, and may be moved by strong winds.


Cloud Fortress
Could Chariot
Conjuration (creation)
Level: Sor/Wiz 9, Air 9
Components: V, S
Range: Personal
Effect: Cloud Fortress, up to three 10-ft. cubes/level (S)
Duration: 1 hour/level

This spell conjures a magical flying cloud fortress that can transport and house multiple people. It is under the mental control of the caster, and can fly 40 ft with average maneuverability, but can also hover. When used to travel long distances, it can cover 8 miles per hour. The cloud fortress can accommodate creatures based on it's layout (see below). While the caster is not on the fortress, or is not mentally directing it (a free action), the fortress simply hovers in place, and may be moved by strong winds.

The fortress may have any design the caster wishes, up to the limits of the spell's effect: three 10-ft cubes / caster level. The fortress is furnished and contains sufficient foodstuffs to serve a nine-course banquet to a dozen people per caster level. A staff of near-transparent servants (as many as two per caster level), liveried and obedient, wait upon all who enter. The servants function as unseen servant spells except that they are visible and can go anywhere in the fortress.

This spell can be made permanent with a Permanency spell at a cost of 5000 xp.
