Smiting

This spell increases the striking power of a normal or magical blunt weapon. A normal weapon gains a bonus of +1 to hit and damage per four levels of the caster, to a maximum bonus of +5. Any adjusted attack roll of 20 or more inflicts triple damage, but shatters the weapon, ending the spell.

A magical weapon gains a +1 bonus per application of the spell, with no special damage capabilities. The total bonus of a weapon cannot be raised above +5.

The material component is the priest's holy symbol.

Notes: Very rare spell. (Updated from Polyhedron Newszine.)
