Tenser's floating disk

Tenser's floating disk, also written as Tenser's floating disc was an evocation spell that created a floating disk.

To Zakharan mages, always reluctant to acknowledge ajami names and accomplishments, the spell was known simply as floating disc, and counted among the spells of the universal province.

Effects
On casting Tenser's floating disk, a slightly concave circular disk made of force appeared floating about 3 feet (91 centimeters) above the ground. Its carrying capacity increased with the caster's skill where weight was concerned; its carrying capacity regarding liquids stayed static at 2 gallons (9 liters). At default, the disk followed behind the caster at a distance of about 5 feet (1.5 meters), but it could be ordered to float to anywhere. The disk and the caster needed to be within a certain distance that grew with the caster's skill; otherwise, the disk simply disappeared and the contents fell on the ground.

Components
Casting Tenser's floating disk required somatic, verbal, and material components. The last was a drop of mercury.
