Class: Wizard
Level: 1
School(s)/Sphere(s): Alteration
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M
Duration: See below
Casting Time: 4
Area of Effect: One mage

Description: This spell is simply used for giving control of a spell
like Charm Person to another mage. Both mages must be of sufficient
level to cast the spell and cannot have cast it through scrolls or
some such means.
Editor’s Notes: The transfer lasts as long as the transferred spell
lasts. This spell cannot be used to transfer permanent effects. The
caster must write the name of the recipient mage on a piece of parchment
along with the spell to be transferred. The parchment is then burned
to complete the spell.
