Spell Name: Mold Object

Mana: 5 + 3 per Turn

Disciplines: Alteration

Concentration: High

Cast Time: 5 Turns

Spell Duration: Channeled

Range: Touch

Spell Effect: The caster alters the malleability of a material they are touching, allowing them to freely stretch, bend, and shape it as though molding clay. When the spell ends, the material only remains in its new shape if it is structurally possible, and breaks otherwise. If the caster is creating an item, this spell only functions for materials the mage has the proper profession to work, and can only cause minor aesthetic changes on anything else. The caster can only alter one cubic meter of material per casting of this spell, and cannot use this spell in combat or to revert items into their base materials. This spell also cannot be used on living creatures.
