			Disk can be cast at others, but this will always produce a base item disk (a limit of 8 items). Air lore only applies if the disk is self-cast. If casting disk at yourself (a wizard casting it, or via a [[black crystal]], or any other way), the usual rules apply: If using a magic item or scroll, because this is a spell from a major list, half of the activator's lore ranks are applied.
