In preparation for a Tier 3 with Reira in the future, I wanted to ask how viable the following spell would be!
It's derived from the old Mer Adept spell, where the mer would be able to bite someone and bring them underwater with them for an hour. Rather than that, Reira would be able to carry someone on his back underwater-and in the event they don't quite sit right, secure them with his seaweed tendrils. In doing so, he could bring them underwater with him wherever he went.
The thing is though, an hour is not very long for a spell like this; the idea is that it could better be used for the purposes of exploration, investigation, etc; an hour might get them around Lake Dala, but certainly not even a short distance into any undersea tunnel.
...which is a little bit of an issue when there are tunnels that don't even have air pockets.
So my question is this; assuming an extreme hunger is still a backfire to such a spell, what would an acceptable time limit over 60 minutes be? ...If there is an acceptable limit at all.
(As a bonus backfire, I imagine pushing one's luck on the timelimit while carrying someone on their back could end in the kelpie just saying 'nope' and draining their energy anyway! OH NO!)
