Drawmij's Beast of Burden (Alteration)

Range: 30 yds

Components: V,S,M

Duration: 2 hours/level

Casting Time: 1 round

Are of Effect: Special

Saving Throw: None

This spell partially lightens goods placed upon a single mount. One-half, in effect doubling the amount of weight the mount can carry reduces the effective encumbrance of all objects on the mount, including riders.

A mount that suddenly finds itself carrying 1 1/2 its maximum load without the spell's protection can not walk, slowly sinks to the ground, and stands a 50% chance of going lame. A mount suddenly burdened by twice its maximum load collapses to the ground, suffering 1d6 points of damage and automatically going lame.

The material components are a loadstone and a pinch of metal filings.
