[QUOTE="Cryptos, post: 4329226, member: 58439"] That doesn't seem right to me. I think that it's indicated as a move action simply to imply that a wizard can use it on himself as part of his move action to jump. Probably what happened was that they weren't thinking of it being used within the context of a combat encounter, and so they left out the language that would allow a target other than the wizard to use it on their own following move action, figuring that out-of-combat you'd cast it on someone and they'd just take their action to jump then, without worrying about initiative order. The coordination to pull it off otherwise is very wonky. "Okay, I want to go over here and jump." (Runs up to chasm.) "Wait! Don't jump yet. On my turn I'll cast jump on you." "Okay...." (Standing there at the edge waiting for the wizard's turn.) "Ok, now jump!" The language in the description should probably read "as part of your move action or the target's next move action."
