The Spell Featherlight from page 208 of the Rifts Ulitmate Edition.
Question #1:
The spell has a duration of 10 minutes per level.
So does it apply as one object per casting or can one pick up and put down objects over the whole duration of the spell?
Question #2:
Can you cast it upon a vehicle you are driving or riding in?
The intent is to make it weigh less for the purposes of speed and saving gasoline.
A 6th level mage casting this spell could take off 1,200 lbs (544 Kilograms) of weigh rideing shotgun on a truck for 60 minutes.
I can imagine it making a difference while going over a dangerous bridge.
A car or motorcycle making a ram jump over something; taking off 100s of pounds makes a difference.
Likewise, driving a snow-mobile over an ice covered lake so it weighs no more than you body weight.
Question #3:
Just to be sure, corpses are not-living creatures, so one could carry 100s of pounds of a dead Xiticix with them?
Question #4:
IF you used the spell to pick up a boulder and then put it down on top of them while they slept or were knocked out, would it pin or cursh them?
Question #5:
IF a mage cast the spell "Superhuman Strength" then this spell of "Featherlight" and someone (like a crazy) were to climb on top of a boulder, could the mage hurl the boulder with the Crazy on top riding it the hundreds of feat it would fly before it harmlessly landed?
