[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6507686, member: 57383"] Hmm, the original description does say the spell can "transport small items or creatures", which means it [I]could[/I] allow multiple objects instead of one, but unfortunately it doesn't say so clearly. Indeed, the whole description is rather vague... Come to think of it, we ought to have the spell description in this thread for the sake of this discussion: I'm reluctant to give it a non-instantaneous duration because it would increase the level of the spell significantly if [I]transport mirror[/I] could transport as many creatures as can run through it during its duration. Even a 1 round duration would allow two dozen humanoids with speed 30 ft. to run through — or four dozen if they can use both sides of the mirror. That's a lot more effective than a single creature. I'd eyeball it as about 5th level spell. We could apply a duration limit AND a number of creature limit I suppose. We could always have a [I]greater transport mirror[/I] that has a duration if you're keen on the idea, then allow the basic spell to be single creature only. That reminds me of something I roughed out while working on my Homebrew version. The kamerel will need some kind of [I]greater reduce monster[/I] spell that shrinks a creature by 2 size categories to produce the effects they do in the adventure. That implies they also have [I]reduce monster[/I] and [I]greater reduce person[/I] spells. [/QUOTE]
