When this spell is cast, the witch curses up to ten creatures or objects within the area of effect with increased weight. Flying creatures are grounded. Living creatures are severely encumbered: this reduces their movement to 1, penalizes their attack rolls by 4, and penalizes their AC by 3. A successful saving throw vs. spell negates the effect.
The DM decides the effect of the spell on objects: buildings or furniture could be severely damaged by having very heavy items suddenly crushing them, wagons or war engines may become too heavy to move, etc.
A dispel magic spell has no effect on this spell, but a remove curse can counter it.
The reverse of this spell is weight dilution. Up to ten creatures or objects in the area of effect can be reduced to one-tenth of their normal weight. Strong winds and other forces can easily sweep away affected creatures or objects. A successful saving throw vs. spell negates the effect.
The material component is a miniature set of scales.
Notes: Restricted to witches, uncommon.
