Description: This 3 ft stone cube is fashioned so that it is capable of supporting a great weight while runes of Levitate are inscribed on the bottom. Once created, the block is stationary in midair on its own. It can be moved, slowly, by lifting or dragging. Its most important aspect is the ability to support up to 100,000 lbs without shifting from its position. Use of Flying Buttresses are common enough in major cities, like Sharn, that entire buildings and towers can be created, hovering in midair and resistant to even tornado category winds. Assuming that the construction is designed around being supported by a Flying Buttress, one of these items is needed every 20 5 ft by 5 ft by 1 ft sections (weighing at 25 lbs each) of stone, or every 50 5 ft by 5 ft by 6 inch sections (weighing at 10 lbs each) of wood, leaving enough tolerance to support weight for the typical collection of people and objects.

Construction Requirements: Craft Wondrous Item, Levitate

Construction Cost: 22,000 gp
