Sickle Arm (Wiz 6; Evocation, Illusion/Phantasm)
Range: 0
Components: V, S
Duration: 6 rds.
Casting Time: 6
Area of Effect: The caster
Saving Throw: Special
At the completion of this spell, the caster's arm is surrounded by a silvery sickle-like blade of force. This illusionary blade is unbreakable and functions in all respects as a +3 magical weapon. The blade causes 1d4+4 points of damage (with magical bonus) to all who touch it, and on a natural roll of 20, an opponent believes he is killed instantly and falls unconscious, unless a successful saving throw vs. Spell is made. If the save is successful, the victim suffers maximum damage, but is otherwise unharmed. The caster can cause the magic to end instantly before the duration expires.
Notes: Restricted to Illusionists; very rare.
