Floating disk can be used hold objects for the character and will follow the character as he travels. It has a hard item limit of 8 items for non-wizards. Wizards can increase the item limit by training in Elemental Lore, Air. It has a hard weight limit of 500 pounds that can not be increased.

Unlike most spells, floating disk has an indefinite duration. As long as the character remains logged in the disk should remain. If you log out or are disconnected, the disk will remain around for a few minutes in case you are able to reconnect. If you do not reconnect the disk will vanish and all items will be deposited on the ground. Any items lost in this manner will not be replaced by staff so they advise players to never place precious items in a disk.

Wizards can hold certain gems or items in their hand while casting this spell to affect the description of the disk. If no gem or item is used a random description will be added to the disk. If a wizard would like a plain disk he should cast the spell at himself instead of just casting in an open manner.

Disks do not respond to many verbs. You can open and close your disk. You can also flip your disk to empty the entire contents onto the ground at once.
