Casting Time:  5
Area of Effect:  Special
Saving Throw:  Negates

By means of this spell, a wizard is able to cause one creature of his current size class to enter the ethereal plane. Once there, the creature is empowered to exit through any border ethereal curtains onto one of the elemental planes or the prime material plane unless it was an unwilling victim of this spell and failed to make its saving throw, although a successful dispel magic cast on the creature (in a border ethereal curtain) will cause it to exit through the border ethereal. Otherwise, the creature is stuck in the ethereal plane until it can find another way to transfer from the border ethereal into an elemental or prime material plane.
For every 2 levels of experience over ninth level a wizard has, he may touch an additional person of his size class and transfer him into the ethereal plane. The classes are tiny, small, medium, large, huge, and gargantuan. If the wizard is of medium size he has each touch slot equal to 3 tiny, 2 small, 1 medium, 1/2 large, 1/4 huge, and 1/6 gargantuan size classes. Therefore, he would need 6 slots (i.e., be a 19th-level wizard) to send a gargantuan creature into the ethereal plane.
Note that a creature's Wisdom bonus or penalty against mind affecting spells modifies its saving throw when it is an unwilling recipient against this spell unless it is currently voluntarily allowing another spell to be cast upon it, in which case it is allowed no saving throw. The material component of this spell is normally a small piece of cockatrice flesh, but almost any animal with sensory powers that extend into the ethereal plane will work.
