The mage chooses a substance or type of object. As long as the spell remains active, those objects within the spell’s Area are drawn to the spell’s subject: Dropped coins bounce toward her, water flows in her direction as long as she’s standing downstream, and so on.
Unless the object is capable of moving under its own power, this spell can only nudge the object when an external force is imparted on it: a ball might roll across the floor, but a heavy book won’t fly off a table into the subject’s hand. (It might, however, tip and fall off a shelf if it was precariously balanced to begin with.)
Alternately, the mage can repel objects from the subject in the same fashion. This spell isn’t strong enough to deflect a weapon swung or fired with intent to harm, but it can certainly keep the mage dry in a rainstorm or keep a cloud of tear gas at bay.
