The rope an invention as old as man kind so simple so under stated. I toss the rope over a exposed beam in the ceiling securing it with a large knot, can't have it breaking now can we. At the other end a well tied hangman's noose five loops so when I fall it will break my neck quickly and I will not have to hang there and pitifully suffocate. A simple levitation charm and I'm floating in the air, the noose around my neck. A twitch of my wand the spell is broken a short fall and the rope goes taught.
