Silver Blade (Wiz 2; Alteration)
(Earth)
Range: 0
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 2d4 + 2 rds.
Casting Time: 2
Area of Effect: One silver item
Saving Throw: None
This spell temporarily transforms any silver item that is longer in one direction than in another and of less than 35 lbs. or so (an average man-sized being must be able to lift it in one hand) into a sword. The sword can be of any one-handed type, from a short sword to a long sword, and is considered both silver and magical for purposes of what it can hit. It inflicts normal damage for a weapon of it's type, and can be wielded by any being as if he were proficient with it.
The caster can cause the magic to end instantly before the spell duration expires. The silver item-usually a silver dagger, dart, or pin-is never consumed by the spell, and reappears whole at the end of the spell duration even if the silver blade was broken or bent during use.
The material component for silver blade is the silver item and a drop of water from any source that has been struck by lightning.
Notes: Rare for Earth mages; otherwise very rare.
