Spectral Wings

This spell creates a misty, gray, largely intangible flying steed. The spectral wings appear as a set of gray, ghostly wings, 12 feet long, with a wingspan of 26 feet. The mount is visible to others but seems foglike and insubstantial. Those riding on the spectral wings feel it as a solid object.

The wings are a magical force under the mental control of the caster. This force is not a living thing; it cannot be slain or affected by normal weapons but can be dispelled normally. The caster must remain in contact with the wings in order to control them. If the caster is taken out of contact with the wings or is slain or rendered unconscious, the wings will perform the last order they received.

The spectral wings are utterly silent and have maneuverability class B and a speed of 15. They can pass through solid objects, but that ability is not passed along to the individuals and equipment that the wings carry. The wings can carry up to 100 lbs. per level of the caster. If overloaded, the additional weight falls through the wings. The wings provide a solid base for spellcasting and missile fire. The caster can engage in other actions while riding the wings, but the wings will continue to move according to their last orders if this is the case.

The material component of this spell is a wing bone from any type of flying creature. The wings resemble the wings of that particular creature.
