This spell temporarily increases an adventurer's skills and abilities. While a boon of fortune is in effect, its recipient can wield an unfamiliar weapon as if proficient in its use. Also, the recipient has an attack and damage bonus of +2 for all weapons with which he is normally proficient (not unfamiliar weapons this spell grants temporary familiarity with). Further, the recipient has +2 bonus to all ability checks. Boons of fortune are only effective on bipedal land mammals (and not even on them when underwater). Once cast, the boon doesn't expire before its normal duration, unless magically countered, even if its caster no longer wishes the recipient to enjoy it.
It is considered sinful for a priest of Tymora to use this spell on himself, unless not doing so directly leads to a frustration of the aims of the goddess or causes immediate harm to her sacred property or faithful worshipers other than the caster.
The material component of a boon of fortune spell is a four-leaf clover (or, alternatively, a piece of amber of any size – but the use of this component reduces the duration of the spell to 6 rounds).
Notes: Granted by Tymora, goddess of luck of the Forgotten Realms setting. This spell is found only in a few exceptionally rare tomes.
