Requirements:	55th Circle, Quest
Difficulty:	Unknown
Type / Skill:	beseech / -
Use Cost:	31 Spirit Alignment (min)
Description:	Beseech Water to Solidify allows the Ranger to call upon a mass of spiders to create a 'living bridge' across a body of water, thus making it easier for himself or others to cross.
Effect:	, , bypass Athletics check for swimming
Messaging:	>align 31 You lower your head, close your eyes and begin breathing slowly as you channel a very small amount of your existing spirit health into reserve to be used as needed by nature itself. > beseech water to solidify You reach down within yourself and concentrate on the water around you. Slowly, you began to chant. Mother Elanthia heed my plea, Make the water solid for me. Cast away all wave and wake, Give me a path safe to take. Roundtime: 6 sec. As you utter your call to nature, you feel your spirit spread out over the waters before you. Life and power flow through you as other living forces awaken and begin to answer your call. The water ripples in overlapping circles as the shells of small turtles rise from the depths, creating a small path over the water on the safety of their backs. You step lightly upon the footings appearing suddenly before you. Roundtime: 3 sec. [Segoltha River, North Bank] Hugging the river bank, the swirling waters surge against the slick banks. Undercurrents seethe beneath the surface, seeking to drag the unwary down into the river's heart. Obvious paths: east, west. Your feel your connection with water's living forces is failing. You no longer feel connected to nature's presence in water.

Notes

Allows you to bypass Athletics checks with minimal roundtimes (3 second roundtime is the minimum).
Can be PERCEIVED, but does not provide duration information.
Gives a short warning before the effect wears off.

The duration is relatively low and the RT for moving over water areas are about three times greater than making the swim on your own if you've trained enough Athletics skill. Be mindful that you or members of your group can also be dragged away on the current while you are trying to cross a water area with this beseech. This can be especially hazardous in the Segoltha River between Crossing and Leth, as, after arriving on the north bank, there is a climb involved. Being washed downriver will lower your stamina, thus making climbing harder, if not impossible.

The beseech's effect will fail pre-maturely if you are outside of a water room for more than a few seconds.

Your feel your connection with water's living forces is failing.

You no longer feel connected to nature's presence in water.

BESEECH the water to solidify

You reach down within yourself and concentrate on the water around you. Slowly, you began to chant.

Mother Elanthia heed my plea,

Make the water solid for me.

Cast away all wave and wake,

Give me a path safe to take.

Roundtime: 4 sec.

As you utter your call to nature, you feel your spirit spread out over the waters before you.

Life and power flow through you as other living forces awaken and begin to answer your call.

A piece of moss detaches from a nearby stone and begins to float upon the water before gathering to itself more of its kind. After a few moments, a bog-like path of relative stability appears.

You step lightly upon the footings appearing suddenly before you. Roundtime: 5 sec.
