Magnetic Field Spell

E/F/M:

This Casting induces positive or negative charge in ferrous Items such as swords armor, etc., causing them to attract or repel (at the caster's option) other items made of like material. The attraction/repulsion is as follows:

Attraction: The pull of the magnetic field is equal to the caster's MR CAPACITY in strength, so to separate two such items each needs to be grasped by some firm and easily held portion and tugged with combined PMPow which eqUals or exceeds that MR CAPACITY. Attractive force will operate over a range with increasing force with 1 pound attraction at 10 feet 2 at, 9, 4 at 8, 8 at 7, 16 at 6, 32 at 5, 64 at 4, 128 at 3. 256 at 2. and 512 at 1 or less.

Repulsion: The same amount of strength (force) is needed to bring together or hold onto repelling ferrous metal bodies as is required to separate them. The velocity of a repelled one-point-weight ferrous metal object is equal to its relative distance from the other object at time of repulsion according to attractive force. Thus, assuming a 17-to 32-pound object and a 1 pound or under object in contact at time of Casting activation, the heavier would be repelled 5 feet, the lighter 512, each in opposite directions, at an acceleration of 16 feet per second squared (half that of gravity). The formula is "d = 1/2 at2" (where d equals the total distance travelled, "a" equals acceleration, and "t" equals time passage in seconds). This works out to 8 feet total by the end of the 1st second, 32 total by the end of the 2nd, 72 by the end of the 3rd, 128 for the 4th, 200 for the 5th, 288 for the 6th, 392 for the 7th, and 512 for the 8th. Thus, the 1 pound object would attain its repulsion distance of 512 feet in 8 seconds, or about midway through its third CT of motion. Note that once at maximum distance, all such velocity is instantly lost, and the object falls inert under gravitational pull.
