With this spell, the wizard can create a pattern for use with the spell Malta's pattern transport. The pattern can be any image with any colours, but it must include a circle which forms the outer edge. The pattern may be of any size, but the cost of making the pattern is dependent on the materials used - so bigger patterns cost more. The pattern can be woven into cloth, painted onto cloth or a hard surface, or inlaid into a hard surface. The pattern must be at least one yard in diameter with no maximum size. The cost to make a pattern is equal to the square yards of the pattern times the amount below:

Material	Cost	Time	Saving Throw
Painted on Cloth	5 Silver	1 hour	15
Woven into Cloth	1 Gold	10 hours	12
Woven into Rug	2 Gold	15 hours	10
Painted on Wood	1 Gold	3 hours	10
Painted on Stone	2 Gold	4 hours	8
Inlaid in Wood	3 Gold	12 hours	5
Inlaid in Stone	5 Gold	16 hours	2

Patterns cannot be repaired, they must be remade completely. Patterns can be moved (assuming the material can be moved as one unit) without damage. The saving throw listed is the saving throw the pattern must make when used for transport (see Malta's pattern transport for details) - the material saves normally for any other damaging situation.
