This spell is primarily used by druids and other shapeshifters as a method of escape. When windlance is cast, a powerful burst of air launches the spellcaster and any other creature or creatures unfortunate enough to be in the same 10-foot cube into the sky for 120 to 600 feet, as chosen by the casting priest. No damage is sustained in the initial blast, but creatures unable to change shape, fly, or use magic for a soft landing suffer normal falling damage when they strike the ground.
Windlance activates any natural shape change ability its caster has, allowing the casting creature to cast windlance and change form in the same round. Creatures other than the caster in the spell's area of effect at the time the spell is cast are not so empowered.
Notes: Granted by the nature gods Eldath, Mielikki, Gwaeron Windstrom, and Silvanus of the Forgotten Realms setting. Known by the Emerald Enclave. This spell is found only in a few exceptionally rare tomes.
