When the wizard employs this spell, he causes an object to vanish (i.e., to be
teleported as if by a teleport spell) if it weighs no more than 50 pounds per caster level. Thus, a
14th-level caster can vanish, and cause to reappear at a desired location, an object up
to 700 pounds in weight. The maximum volume of material that can be affected
is 3 cubic feet per level of experience. Thus, both weight and volume limit the
spell. An object that exceeds either limitation is unaffected and the spell
fails.
If desired, a vanished object can be placed deep within the Ethereal Plane. In
this case, the point from which the object vanished remains faintly magical
until the item is retrieved. A successful dispel magic spell cast on the point will bring the vanished item back from the Ethereal
Plane. Note that creatures and magical forces cannot be made to vanish.
There is a 1% chance that a vanished item will be disintegrated instead. There
is also a 1% chance that a creature from the Ethereal Plane is able to gain
access to the Prime Material Plane through the vanished item's connection.
