Success
<item> seems a bit lighter than before.

Effects

Research shows the weight to be reduced by 70%. This might change depending on the skills of the caster.
Notes
- Contrary to what the helpfile says, you do not need to be carrying an item to cast this spell on it. The item may be on the ground.
- A cast of this spell will cause the following line to appear under the item's description, if the item is made lighter or heavier:
A glimmering row of silver feathers lines the edge.
This effect appears to be in octarine and as such is only visible to wizards and witches, or by performing the ritual Detect Magic on the object or zapping it with a short wand (Wand of Magic Detection).
