[edit] Acquisition
This spell can be learned at 20 levels of magic.spells.misc. It is taught by Granny Weatherwax and Aunty Ogg-San.
[edit] Effects
The effects of this spell are twofold:
- The target will not get any wetter due to rain, sleet or snow.
- The target is rendered immune to the common cold for the duration of the spell's effect.
- The target is protected from getting wet from water in the room, even underwater. This might require some skills to be high enough.
Note that this spell will not dry out an already wet target. Furthermore, this does not prevent insects from Mama Kolydina's Instant Infestation from leaving when underwater.
This spell can be cast again while active to stack the duration. The only limit seems to be the number of duck feathers you have.
[edit] Magick crystal
This spell may be imbued into a magick crystal, which will turn the crystal an aquamarine colour.
The magick crystal's effects are radically different to that of the spell:
- The crystal does not protect against getting wet.
- The crystal does drastically increase the wearer's buoyancy, making it very hard for them to drown (or for that matter, submerge).
[edit] Casting
This spell requires 30 GP to cast, and takes up 10 units of mind space.

[edit] Components
This spell requires:
- An eel skin.
- A duck feather, which is consumed (literally).
Note that these components are not required when imbuing the spell into a magick crystal, only when the spell is cast directly.
