Leaf Into Dagger

This spell causes a single plant leaf (of any variety, size, and condition) to shape itself into a nonmetallic, nonreflective, silent dagger in the caster's hand. The dagger acts as a razor-sharp, unbreakable dagger +2 that is considered magical for purposes of determining which creatures can be hit. The blade can be used without any nonproficiency penalty by the caster. It is weightless and vanishes if deliberately dropped by the caster, otherwise, it cannot be made to leave the caster's hand. The caster cannot be cut with this blade (and can thus use it on bindings constricting him or her with energetic impunity).

The caster can elect, but only at the end of the first round of the dagger's existence (that is, after using it only once as a handheld weapon), to employ it as a hurled weapon. It must be thrown in the second round and is then able to reach creatures up to 90 feet away with no range penalties. It strikes at a +4 bonus to attack, but loses its damage bonus and vanishes upon landing or striking something.

Notes: Granted by Chauntea, the Great Mother, of the Forgotten Realms setting. This spell is found only in a few exceptionally rare tomes.
