Is there a reference somewhere by the original designer of the spell (mind you, this would be back in 2e) with regards to the intent for the use of this spell?I can clearly see other uses. One of the most obvious being the ability to hide a weapon on your person to smuggle it into a restricted area or if you are captured and your obvious weapons taken. This does not jive with your theory of transporting stuff around. This could be an assassin's tactic for killing a king, for example. That is an offensive use, IMO.Then there's the always popular "drop the shunken boulder, as it expands, onto the ogre's head trick". <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />As for your 5 rules: Even if you applied all 5 of them to my original example of the caltrops in the magister's gruel, the man was still fatally screwed (unless he got serious, immediate aid).</blockquote>
