Cloud Trapeze

Cost: 25 motes
Target: Caster

While the sorcerer speaks the Invocation of Heavenly Transport used to signal the cloud chariots in Yu-Shan, his anima envelops him in a thick vapor. Although it looks like a bank of mist from the outside, people inside the cloud trapeze can see though the vapors. The cloudbank lifts the sorcerer and any passengers or cargo into the air and propels them along, without disturbance from wind or weather, at 100 miles per hour.

No one could mistake this conjured conveyance for a normal cloud when it travels at full speed, but the sorcerer may slow its travel and allow it to drift in a bank of natural clouds. The sorcerer's player may roll (Wits + Occult), adding a number of automatic successes equal to his Essence. The total successes on this roll indicate the difficulty to spot the cloud trapeze in the sky.

Only supernatural means can track the progress of the occupants of the cloud trapeze. Even then, the tracker must be able to take flight, track by knowing their target's place in Creation, or use similar means not limited by a need for physical traces. The sorcerer cannot attack, cast spells or use Charms while maintaining the spell. He can still speak, issue commands and retain his full DV while operating the cloud, however. The cloud trapeze lasts as long as the sorcerer concentrates upon it. Creatures outside the cloud may attack its occupants, but they attack as though they were blind, unless they have some special means of seeing the occupants through the opaque cloud.
