Aeather *henomena are normally created at Sight range. This is 3ecause
most /eather *henomena naturally 3egin in the u**er air2 and so s*ells
to create /eather must have enough Range to reach this area. It is
*ossi3le to create /eather *henomena that start at the ground2 3ut they
are very unnatural2 and the increase in level -or that *recisely o--set the
