The subject floats vertically or horizontally at move 3.


Wizard is fighting against an evil brigand by a body of water, and Levitates the brigand into the lake, holds him under water, pays to maintain the spell for a good 6 minutes and the brigand has drown.

How many checks would the brigand get to prevent this fate? Obviously he gets a check when he is first targeted with the spell. Does he get any more checks as he is dragged across the ground, into the water, held under the water, and the spell is maintained 4 times?
No additional resistance checks, but if he can grab something it's not clear if the spell can move him. It's usually easier to move the bandit straight up for the duration of the spell and then let him fall.
