Levitation (rune)

Levitation was a type of giant rune that functioned similarly to the spell levitate.

Effect
The levitation rune's effect generally had a duration of thirty minutes. A caster could study this rune extensively for an unlimited number of times and each instance of studying would contribute an extra thirty minutes to the effect's duration.

Components
Like most giant runes, it required no material components to cast. The process of shaping this rune could take anywhere from one to twenty minutes.

History
In the valley of Hartsvale in 1366 DR, Tavis Burdun and the runecaster Basil went out into the woods in search of Brianna Hartwick and discovered the bloody body of her bodyguard Morten, who they soon determined to still be alive, albeit critically injured. Realizing they needed a way to transport his large body back to Castle Hartwick, Basil shaved the man's hairy chest and then used the fresh blood oozing from his bandaged neck to paint the levitation rune upon the former. Trailing behind them as they made their way there, Morten's floating body eventually reached the castle and was left in the hands of the High Priest Simon.
