Azuth's Firing Frenzy

This spell allows the priest casting it to unleash three bursts of magic missiles (almost identical to those created by the wizard spell, magic missile) at once. Each burst consists of five such missiles. All of the missiles in a burst are directed at the same target, which they strike unerringly (doing no damage to nonliving materials, but inflicting 1d4+1 points of damage each to creatures). Each burst must be fired at a different target (in other words, five missiles strike at one target, five at another, and five at a third - even if this means wasting 10 of the missiles). Missiles fired into empty air fade away at the limits of spell range.

Certain veteran priests speak of the magical items of foes discharging involuntarily when struck by a burst from a firing frenzy, but this seems to be a rare and unpredictable occurrence.

Notes: Granted by the Azuth, god of wizards, of the Forgotten Realms setting. This spell is found only in a few exceptionally rare tomes.
