"More than you can afford," Is the answer, "But make an offer if you think otherwise."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa taps her chin, "Spell for a spell. Though before I offer one, I'd want some details on yours. I'd be a poor negotiator if I traded a 12th circle spell for a 3rd circle one."

[Anastasia]

"It is not a spell. It is a device," Is the answer, "It works and will allow you to travel through the ice. That it all you need to know."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Oh, a device? Hmm... Well, I need some framework for it's value. What sorts of things are you interested in for trade?"

To the others, How's it looking?

[Anastasia]

Mother's willing to help - Amaryl, that is.

"Magic," A succinct, simple answer.

[Iron Dragoon]

Jarem? You get anyone? What do you think of our chances?

"Of what type? Do you have a preference for a school? With the intimidation slant, perhaps... Illusion or Evocation?"

[Anastasia]

No one useful in the circumstances. Negotiate and get out. I don't like a direct battle here, too much can go wrong.

"I value all magic," Mephisto declares, "Any school will do if sufficiently impressive."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Hmm..."

Alyssa sends to the others, Opinions on offering Field of Blades?

[Anastasia]

Refresh me on which spell that is?

[Iron Dragoon]

Field of Blades
Transmutation
Level: Sor/Wiz 7
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25ft + 5ft 2/levels)
Area: One 10ft square per level
Duration: 1 min/level or concentration; see text
Saving Throw: Reflex half
Spell Resistance: Yes

As you cast this spell, the sound of a blade unsheathing can be heard. The ground trembles noticeably underfoot as blades erupt in the area of the spell.

Any area with blades in it is considered difficult terrain. A creature within the area or who passes through the area takes 10d6 points of damage. Any creature that takes damage from the blades suffers foot injuries that reduce their land movement speed by half. This lasts until magical healing or rest restores hit points equal to the damage taken from this spell. A successful Reflex save halves the damage and negates movement speed being halved.

When this spell is cast, you can choose to concentrate on it. If you do, you exert a level of control over the blades. This changes the duration of the spell to concentration. Additionally, each round you may have the blades do one of the two following actions as a free action on your turn.

Control Blades: You can control the blades to exclude any creatures you wish from the effect, allowing them to pass through the affected area safely. The blades return once a creature has passed through, which prevents other creatures from following safely.

Blade Shot: You can cause the blades to fire upwards up to 50ft and attack a creature directly above the area of the spell. This requires a ranged attack roll and deals 10d6 points of damage. These blades target wings and other anatomically discernible means of flight, a creature who flies from such means loses their ability to fly from this damage. This lasts until magical healing or rest restores hit points equal to the damage taken from this spell.

[Anastasia]

It's fine.

'Do it as you please,' Dolmaya agrees.

[Iron Dragoon]

"How about... A spell of my own design. Field of Blades. Your device grants passage, mine denies it. It brings forth blades from the ground, cutting and slowing all who pass through it except those you allow. It also can be triggered to attack a flying enemy."

[Anastasia]

"More." A single word, implacable, "I have seen similar spells before."
