Spell-A-Day: Swiftrunner

Swiftrunner

Vale bestows a blessing to move as the swiftest of animals to the target of the channeler’s choosing. The blessed can then move without tiring and may also be unaffected by difficult terrain. At its basic level (2 MAG), this orison will enable an average atlan to run at noncombat rate, nonstop and without exhaustion, about 14kph (9mph). At 6 MAG and bestowed on someone under the effects of Beast Stride (+8m for a total of 20m), this orison could allow a SPD 3 target to move 72kph (45mph), or half that if Surfooted and Forestrunner were chosen instead of x4 Noncombat multiplier.

If bestowed in a fight or flight situation, the blessing has a normal duration. However, if bestowed in a noncombat situation with the intent to travel long distance, the duration will last until the destination is reached, or until interrupted by combat. If interrupted, Blessing Continuance Roll (p. XX) is required at the end of the combat to determine if the blessing will continue to persist to the original destination.

The formula is SPD x Movement x 0.3kph.
