|desc=The Shift Moonbeam spell allows you to move a focused moonbeam from a distance. You must internalize mana streams to use this spell, so cast it then just gesture in the direction your want your moonbeam to move. If you don't have Distant Gaze cast on your moonbeam, though, you may be moving it blindly. If you locate a target prior to casting this spell, you can gesture at them from afar to send the beam directly to their location, though the range of this mechanism is limited.

==Notes==
*Allows you to move your moonbeam, which lets you bypass obstacles or dangerous areas.
*There are two ways in which you can shift a moonbeam:
:*{{com|gesture}} ''<moon>'' ''<direction>'' lets you move your beam one room at a time.
::*You can also shift through portals such as gates, bridges, and even [[Moongate|Moongates]], although beams cannot be shifted to a fully indoors room.
::*Some rooms and obstacles, most notably certain swimming and climbing obstacles, cannot be bypassed this way either intentionally or due to mechanics limitations.
::*The range at which you can perform this style of shifting is determined by the amount of mana held and is limited by {{skill|Primary Magic}}. Both the mana and skill requirements are quite low, even at very long distances.
::*You can move opened [[Moongate|moongates]] using this method.
::*The [[Zone Map]] is a tool that can be used to determine held mana requirements.
:*{{com|gesture}} ''<moon>'' ''<player>'' lets you shift to a person if they are in range and you have recently [[Locate|located]] them.
::*This feat requires 100 {{skill|Primary Magic}}.
::*Your target must be in a fully outdoors location that is not warded, and must remain in the same room they were located in.
::*Range is based on your location compared to your target's location. The location of your moonbeam has no bearing on being able to shift it via [[Locate]].
::*The range of shifting via [[Locate]] is effectively [[gwethdesuan]] range with a few exceptions.
::*Another indication of being within shifting range is if you get full details when [[Locate|locating]] your target with a minimum prep.
::*Range is fixed and ''never'' improves with skill or mana held. [[Celestial Beacon|Celestial Beacons]] and the [[Astral Plane]] provide ways to set moonbeams farther away.
::*The [[Zone Map]] is a tool that provides another way to gauge the range for locate shifts. You can locate shift between locations that are no more than one zone away, although there are exceptions.
*With enough {{skill|Power Perceive}}, all magic users can sense when moonbeams move into or out of the room.
*Step-by-step usage:

:harness <mana>
:cast
:gesture <moon> <direction/player>
