tha sa a nte t
Tha sa a nte t is an entry level conjuration, with a range of thirty feet, a duration of an hour, and a material requirement of a drop of mercury.
This spell creates a circular disk, three feet in diameter and one inch thick that floats three feet above the ground. The disk can hold up to three hundred pounds. If any additional weight is added, the spell with fail. The metal plate is unmovable unless the ground beneath it is removed or the castor moves ten feet away then the disk will follow.
The disk will continue to follow the castor over uneven ground and even up stairs but is limited to a height differential of six feet or less. For example, if the castor jumps over a seven foot deep ditch, the disk will not continue.
Turning sharp corners is also a challenge. The castor must walk past the corner until the disk is in position, then walk back to the disk to make the turn and continue.
Tha sa a nte t has a discovery date of 1883 in Cambodia. The spell has been used to evacuate the wounded in the first world war and is still used as a transportation aid around the world.
Researches have not discovered how exactly the disk is able to float but the hypothesis is that dark energy repels the force of gravity like similar polls of a magnet.
The television and film industry widly use tha sa a nte t as the disk creates a stable, perfectly level platform on which to mount a camera. Before the invention of the steady-cam harness, a little more than movie magic was used to create smooth tracking shots down stairs and across uneven ground
