The caster causes the form of a disembodied hand to appear in the air before them. While the spell duration lasts, the caster can cause this hand to float anywhere within the specified range of themselves. If the caster should move about, the range remains centered on their current position. The hand can be caused to manipulate items: turn doorknobs, lift small latches, pick up small items, turn pages of a book, or even hold a spellbook open for the caster to read from.

This hand is the same size as a typical human hand; its strength and dexterity are limited, though. It cannot lift or carry items weighing more than about 3lbs (1.5 kg). It can push or pull unsecured items weighing twice this limit. Since it does not transmit any sensation back to the caster, It cannot be used to remotely pick locks.

The hand has 0SP and 1 Injury Point; any damage taken by the hand will cause it to disappear and end the spell prematurely. The caster can also choose to end the effect any time prior to its normal expiration.
