## Description

A spider climb spell enables the recipient to climb and travel upon vertical surfaces just as a giant spider is able to do, i.e. at 3" movement rote, or even hang upside down from ceilings. Note that the affected creature must have bare hands and feet in order to climb in this manner. During the course of the spell the recipient cannot handle obiects which weigh less than 50 g.p., for such obiects will stick to the creature's hands/feet, so a magic-user will find it virtually impossible to cast spells if under a spider climb dweomer. The material components of this spell are a drop of bitumen and a live spider, both of which must be eaten by the spell recipient.
