Sorry bout that i didn't even see there were posts Marcus  The sleep spell Im baseing this off of is the 2nd ed AD&D first level spell Sleep.<br/><br/>Sleep<br/><br/>(Enchantment/Charm)<br/><br/>Range: 30 yds.<br/>Components: V, S, M<br/>Duration: 5 rds./level<br/>Casting Time: 1<br/>Area of Effect: Special<br/>Saving Throw: None<br/><br/>When a wizard casts a sleep spell, he causes a comatose slumber to come upon one or more creatures (other than undead and certain other creatures specifically excluded from the spell's effects). All creatures to be affected by the sleep spell must be within 30 feet of each other. The number of creatures that can be affected is a function of Hit Dice or levels. The spell affects 2d4 Hit Dice of monsters. Monsters with 4+3 Hit Dice (4 Hit Dice plus 3 hit points) or more are unaffected. The center of the area of effect is determined by the spellcaster. The creatures with the least Hit Dice are affected first, and partial effects are ignored.<br/><br/>For example, a wizard casts sleep at three kobolds, two gnolls, and an ogre. The roll (2d4) result is 4. All the kobolds and one gnoll are affected (½ + ½ + ½ + 2 = 3 ½ Hit Dice). Note that the remainder is not enough to affect the last gnoll or the ogre.<br/><br/>Slapping or wounding awakens affected creatures but normal noise does not. Awakening requires one entire round. Magically sleeping opponents can be attacked with substantial bonuses (see “Modifiers to the Attack Roll” in Chapter 9: Combat).<br/><br/>The material component for this spell is a pinch of fine sand, rose petals, or a live cricket.<br/><br/>Obviously he left out the material components using pure Arcane energy to cast the spell something one of his level (in game terms) could do but at the cost of weakening the spell. he focused the spell on Marcus I would say given his level (30th level caster) he could be out for as long as 2.5 hours. if he were slapped or kicked he could wake up. physically he'd be asleep but i've been known to react to things in my sleep. And am only aware of them cause my at the time girlfriend told me i had.
