Effect
The caster combines a living spider with a vial of their own blood and drinks the preparation. It only benefits the caster and does not restore Hunger. Make one Rouse Check, spend five minutes casting, and roll Intelligence + Blood Sorcery at Difficulty 2. Success allows wall and ceiling movement for a scene; a critical win extends it to the night. Both hands and feet must stay in contact with the surface, and movement is approximately half normal speed.
