Tornado is a devastating powerful but uncontrollably spell. Casting it takes approximately ten seconds of extreme focus. This is a Major treasure. A character who has never gained a Major treasure may gain this treasure normally. Otherwise, the character must first acquire Major Gain specifically to gain this treasure.
Once cast, a tornado will take roughly a minute to completely form and touch down at whatever location the caster was when the spell finished. When fully formed, the cyclone reaches heights of about 20 feet (or 6 meters). The winds are considerably dangerous, though on their own are incapable of causing damage beyond cuts on their own. The sheer force however can bring even objects as heavy as Gorons and Darknuts airborne, and is able to destroy common buildings. The caster himself is not affected by the winds, but cannot control their strength or direction, and thus may be subject to objects flung by the winds. Similarly, the caster cannot designate allies to not be affected.
The tornado's initial direction (if any) can be designated by the caster, but he can otherwise not control its actions. He can cause it to end prematurely by canceling the spell, though the tornado will still persist up to a minute after being canceled. If left unchecked, the tornado lasts for 15 minutes, after which the weather will calm. Normally, it cannot be summoned for an hour after it dissipates. With one level of Magic Power it can be summoned again after 40 minutes; with two levels it can be summoned after 20 minutes.
Trivia
