padrias writes "The priests of the Flanaess control mighty magic through their faith and prayers, often giving them power over the very elements of nature. Here is but one example of that divine magic, a useful incantation that summons forth the element of water to do the priest's bidding.
A 4th level priest spell presented in AD&D 2nd Edition format.
Rhiannon's Watery Bridge

4th level priest spell: Rhiannons Watery Bridge
Sphere: Elemental(water)
Components: V,S,M
Range: 10yds/level
Duration: 1hr/level
Area of Effect: 10'wide x 10'long/level
Casting Time:1 round
Saving Throw: none
By means of this spell, the caster can bring into existence a ten foot wide bridge of water. There must be a body of water,(a river, creek, pond, lake, etc.), to create the bridge across. Once cast, columns of water rise from the source body and fan out to make each ten foot wide by ten foot long section of the bridge. The bridge is safe to tread upon, as it is treated as a stone bridge for movement rates and weight supported. The duration of the bridge is one hour per level, yet the caster can dispel it at any time during it's duration.
Thus, Apple the Pious, an eighth level priestess, coming upon a river that is seventy-five feet across, and being pursued by a band of angry orcs, could cast Watery Bridge and take her wagon load of treasure across the river and dispel it before the orcs can catch up. The spell does not impede the source body or travel on it, except that one would get wet going under the bridge, due to the spells elemental origins.

(User Info | Send a Message) | | I would assume that dietes with ties to nature in general (Obad Hai, Ehloona) and water in particular (procan, Xerbo) would grant it. |

(User Info | Send a Message) | | Thank you! Our group has been adventuring in the World of Greyhawk since 1981. We are definitely "old-schoolers", who prefer playing in 1st and 2nd edition. You will see more from me soon. |

I actually play Basic D&D for the most part these days, though I still have a love for 2e. Honestly, I was never much of a 1e fan, we played Basic with bits and pieces of 1e thrown in until 2e came out, at that point we switched completely. |

(User Info | Send a Message) | | We learned out of the basic boxed set, advancing to the first edition players handbook (with reservations I might add), and it was nearly six months of heavy gaming before we accepted some of the second edition changes. |
