This powerful spell creates temporary magical weapons. It functions only with weapons the caster can use. (That is, a druid can enchant only spears, staves, scimitars, daggers, and other allowable weapons.)
When casting bronzewood weapon, the caster holds the weapon in her hand and lowers it to the ground. While the priest chants, the weapon phases into the earth. As the chants ends, the priest pulls the weapon from the ground. The player then rolls a d100. On a roll of 1-10, the weapon is ruined, rusted beyond use. On a roll of 11-00, the weapon is transformed into gleaming bronzewood. The hilt (or handle or body) of the weapon is surrounded by vines, some extruding thorns and leaves. The weapon now has a +3 bonus to hit and a +3 damage bonus, and it inflicts double damage to evil woodland creatures. At the end of the duration, the outer covering shatters, revealing the normal weapon underneath.
This spell is sometimes used to create magical weapons for warriors, druids, and rangers who have defended the woodlands against destruction. Rumors of a bronzewood armor spell have not been confirmed.
