Lesser Etherealness

(See also: Greater Etherealness (Wizard Spell))

When this spell is cast, the wizard and up to three other travelers (or up to 1,000 lbs., whichever is lowest) fade back into the area of the Border Ethereal surrounding the plane on which the spell was cast. Creatures unwilling to accompany the wizard onto the Border receive a saving throw, negating the effect if successful. If the Border Ethereal doesn't touch the plane upon which this spell is cast-like the Astral and any of the Outer Planes-lesser etherealness fails to function, and the wizard loses it from her memory.

Once on the Ethereal Plane, the caster and any other travelers are subject to the conditions of the Ethereal Plane regardless of whether they travel into the Deep or remain upon the Border. Individuals who accompany the caster are not bound to remain with her once they've transferred onto the Border.

When the duration expires (or etherealness lapses through other means), all travelers "drop" back onto the bordering plane in a location analogous to the distance they have traveled (if any) while upon the Border. If etherealness ends for travelers in the Deep, they are immediately flung onto a randomly rolled plane.
