Re: Create Helm spells - Fly spell is so beautifull

Two minor things.

1) You can't make your boat fly for 5 days. You can fly it for eight hours,
then you collapse from exhaustion, an your boat crashes, probably killing a
few hundred people in with the deal.

2) There is no stated reason for spheres being created. It's part of the
whole mystique of the setting, but also, they had to separate worlds that
have vastly different rules, and needed a way for it to make sense.
Also, TSR didn't *create* the spheres. This was an idea that was going
strong during the Renaissance. Of course, the earth and the mon each had a
sphere...[shrug]
