Tenser's floating disk, also written as Tenser's floating disc[5] was an evocation spell that created a floating disk.[3]
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.[6]
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 (0.0076 cubic meters)(7.6 litres). By default, the disk followed behind the caster at a distance of about 5 ft (150 cm), 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.[3]
Components[]
Casting Tenser's floating disk required somatic, verbal, and material components. The last was a drop of mercury.[3] In some castings of the spell, the somatic component involved the cupping together of one's hands.[8]
History[]
The twin brothers Tarik and Chaid al Farid al Fuqani, young apprentices at Blackstaff Tower, used floating disks to destroy an invading nishruu on Uktar 28 of 1374 DR by dumping salt upon the creature.[9]
