Description:
Fyoder's summons a powerful cloud spirit to carry things for the caster. The spell is first cast at an object as the target, and the cloud will then appear to pick up said object. If at any point in its servitude it has nothing to carry, it will dissipate. Those with much to carry may summon multiple clouds.

The total weight of items that the cloud may carry for its master depends on the skill of the caster, however the number of items the cloud can directly carry is limited to a double handful. If the cloud is to carry more, some sort of container must be used.

When first summoning the cloud, the caster must share some of their intelligence and strength with it, usually between one and three points. They will of course regenerate with time, with the caster restored within a moderate timeframe depending on how much was lost.

The cloud will survive until either it has nothing to carry, or the caster ceases to be present on the Disc. When that occurs, the cloud will simply drop everything it was carrying onto the ground for anyone to take. Casters of this spell should also be wary of thieves taking items from their cloud.

The caster may 'order' the cloud to do a number of things, such as take or drop a particular item, return an object to the caster, and to follow. If the cloud is misplaced, it will eventually find its owner. If it seems distracted and no longer responding, the caster can 'poke' it to regain its attention.

Neither the candle or towel are normally consumed by the spell, but the towel may burn if not sufficiently wet. Candles may be purchased in good light and other shops Disc wide, and there are number of sources of towels. To wet said towel, the caster can always dry themselves, if they happen to be wet, or they may be able to soak the towel in a fountain, such as that at the IIL.
 
Comments:
WARNING: Do not put anything that you are not willing to lose on the cloud, as everything will be lost if you log out for any reason.
