Lloyd's Beacon
(Alteration)

Range:  0
Components:  V, S, M
Duration:  Special
Casting Time:  1
Area of Effect:  Special
Saving Throw:  None

By means of the Lloyd's beacon spell, the spellcaster is able to instantaneously return to a previously prepared location. The material component of the spell is a gem of not less than 500 gp value. The spellcaster casts Lloyd's beacon at the place which he wishes to set as the return location. This setting of the location takes one turn. After setting the location, the gem disappears and the area radiates alteration magic. At anytime afterwards, the spell caster can cast the recall version of Lloyd's beacon, with a casting time of 1, requiring only verbal components. The spellcaster, along with anything he is touching up to 150 pounds + 50 pounds per level above seventh are instantly teleported to the preset location with no chance of error. Unwilling travellers require a successful to-hit roll, and in addition get a saving throw versus spell, with success indicating that they were not teleported. The location remains set until either the spellcaster decides to change it or until it is dispelled by someone else. If it is dispelled, the recall version will fail, but the wizard will not know this until after he casts the spell, unless he uses some other magical divination (eg., contact other plane). When the set location is dispelled or removed by the wizard, the gem reappears and may be reused. The wizard may only have one Lloyd's beacon set at any one time.
