Create Object (VH)
Regular
Create any sort of simple artifact with which the caster is familiar – e.g., a robe, a sword, a cup. It cannot create a magical item or a living creature.
Limitations: Food created this way will seem nourishing, but in fact is not. Information cannot be created; a book could not be created unless the caster knew all its contents by heart. A work of art will be only as good as the caster could make it by hand. A mechanical device cannot be created unless the caster could build it himself. (GMs – the intent of this rule is to make it almost impossible for mages to create cars, transistor radios, etc. Be strict.)
Duration: The created object lasts indefinitely – as long as it is touching a living, thinking being. Thus, a wizard can create a sword, and use it himself or give it to a friend – but if he creates a coin to cheat a merchant, it will vanish if the merchant drops it on the counter or tosses it in the air! A created item does not actually have to touch flesh, but it must be very close to someone. It could be held in a gloved hand, carried in a pocket, etc., but not stored in a backpack.
Cost: 2 for every 5 pounds the created item weighs.
Time to cast: Equal to cost, in seconds.
Prerequisites: Magery 2, Create Earth, and Perfect Illusion.
