Gaseous Form (Alteration) (Alchemy) Level: 4 Range: Touch Components: V, S Casting Time: 4 Duration: 2 rds./level Area of Effect: Creature touched Saving Throw: None This spell allows the recipient, plus any gear carried or worn, to assume gaseous form for the duration of the spell. In gaseous form, an individual is both transparent and insubstantial (and therefore very difficult to spot, although an alert observer may notice small disturbances and distortions in the air that give away the gaseous form’s location). This spell allows flowing movement at a rate of 3 per round but not unassisted levitation or flight. A gust of wind spell, or even normal strong air currents, will blow the gaseous form at air speed. While gaseous, the form can enter any space that is not airtight. For example, it could pass through a tiny crack or hole in a wall. Magical fire or lightning can harm the gaseous form normally. Whirlwinds and similar magical tempests or cyclones inflict double damage on the individual, but all other attack forms cannot harm the insubstantial individual. The creature can will itself back into solid form at any time, ending the spell. Notes: Very rare. (Updated from POLYHEDRON Newszine.)
