Blazing Sword – Halfling

When this spell is cast on the priest's melee weapon, it creates a bright sparkling silver glow. The spell has two versions; the caster chooses one when the spell is cast.

Great Blow: The round following the casting, the weapon has a +3 bonus to hit and a +5 bonus to damage for its first blow. It can affect creatures hit only by +3 or better magical weapons. If the attack misses, the magic is wasted.

Blazing Sword: The weapon becomes +1 to hit and +2 to damage. This lasts for four rounds plus one round per experience level of the caster over 7th. The weapon can strike creatures hit only by +1 or better magical weapons

When either version of the spell expires, the weapon must make a successful item saving throw vs. crushing blow or be ruined. A weapon with 10 gp or more of silver in the weapon or its hilt or decoration, receives a +2 bonus to the saving throw.

The material component is a pinch of sulphur, which is tossed upon the weapon.

Notes: Granted by the halfling god Arvoreen the Defender.
