Spiders fly by electrostatic repulsion!!!

[Eltab]

While the Floating Spider - no propulsion so blown by winds - is using either Levitate or Feather Fall, all adjacent spaces to it (in all three dimensions) are subject to the effects of Shocking Grasp. This effect / aura travels with the Floating Spider as it moves.

It has long been a mystery of how Spiders are able to use their webs to launch themselves into the air and float across great distances - Spiders have been found two-and-a-half miles up in the air, and 1,000 miles out to sea. They do this in light breezes so its not the winds that is carrying them up into the air.

Now a study has shown that Spiders can fly using electrostatic repulsion - Spiders can detect and align themselves to the Earths electric field and then use the negative charge of their web strand to repulse the negative charge of the grounded object the spider is on, thus launching it into the positively charged air.

It puts a whole new spin on Spiderman (and Wonder Woman lasooing her lightning bolts)

I am putting together a Vikings campaign and I already knew one Boss was going to be a wizard. Now, the first layer of defenses to his island hideaway is going to be a Swarm of Spiders that drift over your boat and...
