Lengthen Limb
Regular
The caster’s arm (usually – but legs, pseudopods and so on are also legal)
lengthens, becoming like a very long snake. The limb lengthens at a rate of 1
yard per second, with no upper limit. The caster retains his full sense of
touch, and must feel his way forward once the end of the limb grows out of
view, or use Wizard Eye or some similar spell to guide it. He must remain still;
the actual lengthening requires concentration, but the caster may relax once
he has achieved the desired length.
The extended limb may make a tempting target for whoever happens
on it! When the spell ends, or in an emergency, the limb is “reeled back in”
at the caster’s full Basic Speed score. This is useful for reaching the keys
outside the cell, or snatching the caliph’s prize jewel as he sleeps.
