Rope Trick      Regular

     Causes a piece of rope from five to 30 feet long to rise into the air

            until the whole rope hangs perpendicular, as if affixed at the upper end.

     The upper end is, in fact, fastened to an extradimensional space.  The

            caster and up to seven others can climb up the rope and disappear into

            this place of safety where no other creature can find them.  The rope can

            be taken into the extradimensional space if fewer than eight persons have

            climbed it, otherwise it simply remains hanging in the air.  Spells

            cannot be cast across the extra-dimensional interface, nor do area

            effects affect it except through the window. Spells may be cast inside the area or  

            through the window.  The space remains in contact with the real world via the  

            opening, and those in the extradimensional space can hear and see out of it as if

            there were a 3' x 5' window centred on the rope.  This window can be seen by

            True Sight or located by Seeker. A mage who is outside the space and who can

             see the opening may cast spells into the space through the opening.

      If the persons in the extradimensional space do not leave it before the

             spell expires, or if more then 8 people attempt to enter it, they will simply be  

             dropped from where the entrance to the

             space was.  Also note that taking existing extra-dimensional spaces (e.g.

             from the hideaway spell into this extradimensional space can be hazardous.
