Contract Object (VH)

Regular 
Scales an object down in one dimension. A rope or blade can be made shorter, for instance. This spell could easily render most clothing unwearable. This reduces the object’s Size modifier unless the object is not being contracted in its longest dimension. The object’s DR is unchanged, but its HP usually decreases in direct proportion to the rescaling.

Duration: 1 hour. 
Cost: 1 per pound of original weight (minimum of 1 pound) for every halving of the chosen dimension. Same cost to maintain. 
Time to cast: 3 seconds. 
Prerequisites: Magery 3 and Transform Object (VH).

Item 
Wand, staff, or jewelry. Usable only by mages; the item must touch the subject.  
Energy cost to create: 800.
