Proctiv's move mountain was a legendary Netherese spell that sheared off a mountaintop, allowing the creation of the famous Netherese enclaves.
Effects[]
The spell was extremely direct in its applications. With the arcanist's guidance, it severed the section of mountain desired, rotated it so that the flat side faced upward, and maintained a levitation effect that kept it aloft until more permanent arrangements could be made.[3]
Components[]
The material components for this spell were a mythallar (which needed to be placed in the new city within two weeks), a magical device that allowed flying or levitation, and a crystal ball.[3]
History[]
The spell was created by the arcanist Proctiv in 1746 NY (−2113 DR), and without it the construction of Netheril's flying enclaves would have been near-impossible.[4] As an epic spell, it could no longer be cast due to the restrictions placed on magic by Mystra after Karsus's Folly in 3520 NY (−339 DR).[5] Later ages remembered the spell simply as move mountain.[1]
