Paka pantasma

Published: July 7, 2022, 7 p.m.

Paka pantasma is a level five evocation spell with an instant casting time, a range of one hundred twenty feet, and a duration of one minute.  The materials required are an egg shell and a snakeskin glove, the former of which is consumed by the spell.  The spell requires concentration to maintain. 

Paka pantasma creates a floating hand which matches the size, shape, and strenghth of the castor.  The hand is visible and solid which can be dispelled if struck with four thousand newtons of force or about nine hundred pounds.  The spell will also fail if the hand is exposed to eighty degrees Celsius for more than five seconds.   

Don’t get paka pantasma confused with a similar spell, pomicati.  Both can be used to move objects and both are limited to the strength of the castor, but pomicati produces equal force around an entire object, while paka pantasma places force exactly as a hand would.  This spell is useful when more intricate work is needed or when your work needs to be more visual.  It also gives tactile feedback when touching.
