This spell can only be cast on a staff of not more than 8 feet in length. When a staff is so enchanted, it will, upon command, shoot forth lines of force from both ends perpendicular to the length of the staff and in the direction the caster desires. These lines will extend up to a maximum of 150 feet, and will attach to any inanimate non-living object (usually a wall or ceiling). The wizard can then control the length of the lines at will, although they cannot pull an object faster than 5 feet per second. The lines can hold a maximum of 40 pounds per level of the caster. If the strength of the lines is exceeded, they will immediately vanish. After the lines have attached to something they will remain attached until their strength has been exceeded, they are dismissed by the caster, they are dispelled by a dispel magic spell, or after a period of 24 hours (whichever comes first). Each time this spell is cast upon a staff, up to three sets of lines of force can be conjured as long as they are called within 8 hours per level of the caster. A staff can have only one of these spells cast upon it at a time (subsequent castings will not add more charges).
