you are back in the same old bad habits.

You will not get a sensible answer to this - it's not a useful question, nor a useful contribution to discussion.

Read the Manual - work out the steps, then write back!

This one is easy , use InAu (base effect level 04) with (Duration : Ring) and (Target : Circle).

Once Magus Assinius has drawn a circle round the entire planet , he will then be able to know the Weather anywhere in the world by looking at the globe in his lab which is an arcane connection to his spell.

Let me beat AbrahamRay to his next question, how do make a spell that creates a circle that surrounds the planet?

No one should try to answer this question, I'm just joking around!

Not to mention the insane amount of concentration rolls required to draw a big circle; one every round while not traveling faster than 5 feet per second, while making sure that nothing breaks the circle while tracing it.

Unless, of course, one draws a circle the size of the coin and says it is the area left outside.

I suppose one could create say a gold hand that's capable of holding a piece of chalk. One could teach the hand how to draw a circle. Then one could create a piece of chalk that leaves a mark that lasts for a year. Then the hand could be sent on it's way to draw the circle. This would avoid the issues of trying to maintain concentration while a magus draws the circle. It's also alot easier on your back!

This still doesn't address the issue of how does one draw a circle over water. I suppose though, if you took the time to make and teach this 'hand', you might as well put some time into making a piece of chalk that can draw a line on water (and doesn't break).

so having done all this, then yes could cast your spell range circle, and have your weather spell. Since the line will last for a duration of year, do you think the hand will finish drawing the circle before the line dissappears? That problem I leave for AbrahamRay to resolve...

sorry,in 4th ed. in the books that I have seen they didn't give stats for lab equipment.
think of this as a divinition effect(regoarum 25)to see the weather on other parts of the world.
also the effect probibly would be 60(for a world wide weather devinition)

If you think rego aurum is a divination effect then you clearly haven't read the books. I'm not going to help you figure this out. I will distract you with unreasonable solutions to your unreasonable proposals.

Tell me how to design a piece of chalk that makes a line that can not be broke and can exist on water. Tell me how to make a gold hand that can hold a piece of chalk and draw a circle. When you can do this, I'll show you how make your spell.

"Tell me how to make a gold hand that can hold a piece of chalk and draw a circle."

Easy - raid the set of Flash Gordon. *grin*

Or maybe I'm the only one old enough to remember that movie...

Doesnt it feel like we are shaving with 'Occam's Razor' while riding 'Balaam's Ass' beneath the 'Sword of Damocles' and at the same time trying to "Square the Circle" using a straightedge and a compass. :-)

The next task for Magus Assinius ben Dover will be to create 'Occam's Razor' and the 'Sword of Damocles'.

and from IMDB re Flash Gordon

but "Flesh Gordon" was more amusing

Ah ha, use Creo Imanginoem to make the circle....oh wait. You will need to be far enough away from the earth to see the whole circle to cast the spell.

I think this will be level 6.25
Range fish
Duration cheeseburger (as long as it takes to eat a cheeseburger)
Target the earth
When the caster SNEEZES vigorously while dancing in orange shoes, the spell make a ring around the earth what do you guys think?

Wand of Clamato Juice

When you point the wand at a glass of vodka, it fills the glass with Clamato juice.

Level: .25 on a breathalyzer.
Tech/Form Muto/Aquam: (who would do such a bad thing to vodka)
Range: Never more than an arms length away.
Duration: Until last call

Please tell me what you think.

sorry but duration 'cheeseburger' is just not in Paradigm.
duration : eel and leek pie is probably ok though.

Plus you should probably define the fish , as they have different ranges depending on the Dancing in Trondheim.

"Intelegem" is the new 4.3 gHz processor from Intel. I don't think you can use that word without there pirmisson.

I would like a rum too, can I have mine in a short glass with ice?

Intelgo is the trademarked name for the heads of Leggo people. Please try again. You will find the words in the rulebook, which you obviously still have not taken the time to read. Please do not post until you do.

"Don't think, check"!!
(and after checking, try reading back what you type, and seeing if it is spelled correctly... your normal spelling appears to be "write-once-randomly"....)

1) the word you misspelled, is spelled "Intellego"
2) Intellego is the Technique for divinatory and investigative magics for all Forms
3) the Form for mind effects is "Mentem"

Go back and read it again...

You have the downloaded PDF of the book - but you show very little sign that you open it up and check before posting... you will learn far, far more if you bother to *read* some of it, and to read it carefully.

To be nitpicky in 4e, assuming accents come through OK, it's "Intéllego". To be more nitpicky, 4e printing uses "é", but that is not the correct character, as Latin does not have accented letters... strictly it is a "long e", marked with a "macron" a horizontal bar over the letter: "ē" - but it is (or was 8 years ago!) hard to find printers and software to handle that... nowadays, "just use Unicode".

There... is that better?
