Ruby Axe

Ruby axe causes the caster's axe to glow with a faint red glow along its cutting edge. The axe temporarily becomes magical (if it was not already) and gains a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls. The attack and damage bonus increases by +1 at 8th, and the damage bonus increases by +1 again at 12th level, to a maximum of +2 to attack rolls and +3 to damage rolls. These bonuses are cumulative with any magical bonuses the axe may already have. The caster must wield the axe; if it is given to another to wield, all bonuses the spell grants do not apply, though the spell does not end. When the spell expires, the axe reverts to its normal state.

The material component is the priest's holy symbol.

Notes: Granted by the gnome god Callarduran Smoothhands.
