This spell gives the recipient sticky hands and feet, allowing them the ability to crawl across vertical or horizontal surfaces.

• The recipient gains a natural climb speed of 30-ft. per round including across inverted surfaces.

Limitations.

• The recipient must use all of its limbs to climb (move beyond 10-ft. per round).

• Otherwise, the recipient can use one limb to hang in place or two limbs (if humanoid, the legs) to engage in melee.

• Any object touched by the recipient that weighs less than 5 lbs. will stick to the limb that touched it until the duration of the spell ends. This may also negate the recipient's ability to climb faster than 10-ft. per round (per the GM). Note that this side-effect makes casting spells with material components by the recipient very difficult (no manipulation possible).

Material Components. A drop of bitumen and a dead spider (both must be consumed by the caster). Cost/Scarcity. Free/Common;

Known Additions/Substitutions. If the caster can use a fresh* silk gland from a giant spider (any type, but must be noted as being "giant") only two limbs are required to climb using the spell (typically feet).

* Taken within 1 hour of the casting.
