This spell enables the creature touched to move and attack normally for the
duration of the spell, even under the influence of magic that impedes movement
(such as web or slow spells) or while under water. It even negates or prevents the effects of
paralysis and hold spells. Under water, the individual moves at normal (surface) speed and
inflicts full damage, even with such cutting weapons as axes and swords and with
such smashing weapons as flails, hammers, and maces, provided that the weapon is
wielded in the hand rather than hurled. The free action spell does not, however, allow water breathing without further appropriate magic.
The material component is a leather thong, bound around the arm or similar
appendage, which disintegrates when the spell expires.
