This spell transforms a normal blade of field grass into a quarterstaff that can then be used as a weapon. Although the quarterstaff possesses no bonuses to attack or damage rolls, it is considered a magical weapon for determining what creatures it can successfully strike.
Only the caster can use the reed staff, if another creature attempts to use it, the spell is negated. The caster need not remain in contact with the reed staff, however. The priest is free to set down the weapon in order to perform other actions, including fighting with another weapon, casting a spell, and so forth. The spell can be ended prematurely if exposed to a successful dispel magic or brought into contact with an antimagic shell, dead magic area, or similar effect.
The material components spell are the caster's holy symbol, a splinter of wood, and the blade of grass to be affected.
Notes: Granted by the halfling deities Sheela Peryroyl and Yondalla.
