You focus your magical power in order to create an area of intense gravity. Within the affected area, gravity effectively increases by a factor 10. Carrying loads increase tenfold, and depending on any affected creature's new Load, it suffers a series of debilitating effects, as follows.

• Light Load: Even those that carry little will find their bodies crushed by the intense gravity. Creatures with a light load take 4d6 points of damage per round (Fortitude half) and their movement speed is halved. Flying creatures up to an altitude of 200 feet must make a Fortitude save or be forced to the ground immediately and take falling damage, unless their Strength is at least 20 +5 per size category over Medium they possess. Their armor check penalty increases by -5.
• Medium Load: 8d6 damage every round (Fortitude half), and movement speed is quartered. Creature can no longer run. Flying creatures need 30 Strength +5 per size category above Medium to resist saves vs falling. Their armor check penalty increases by -10.
• Heavy Load: 12d6 damage every round (Fortitude half), and movement speed is quartered. Creatures can no longer hustle or run. Flying creatures need 40 Strength +5 per size category above Medium to resist saves vs falling. Their armor check penalty increases by -20.
• Overloaded: 16d6 damage every round (Fortitude half). Can only stagger 5 feet as a full-round action. Flying creatures cannot resist falling down unless they can hover and have 50 Strength +5 per size category above Medium. Their armor check penalty increases by -30.
• Overloaded ×5: 20d6 damage every round (Fortitude half). Cannot move at all, except to take things off. Flying creatures cannot resist falling down. Their armor check penalty increases by -50.

Regardless of load, any weapon wielded by an affected creature is affected as per heavy weapon stacked two times (no save).

Focus: A lump or talisman of gravsteel worth 500 gp.
