Sword and Hammer

This spell creates a shadowy sword and war hammer of twice normal size. These are animated magical constructs rather than tangible items. They fly about within the spell range, which is centered on the caster, at MV 30 (A), striking once per round at THAC0 4 at a being or object mentally chosen by the caster. The two weapons can attack the same target or each strike at a separate target. They can change targets as often as the caster desires. The sword inflicts 4d4 points damage, and the hammer deals 2d4 points. If they both attack the same target, there is no saving throw to avoid the damage they inflict, but a creature facing only one of the spell weapons is allowed a saving throw vs. spell to suffer only half damage.

The weapons are considered sufficiently enchanted to hit any sort of foe (such as those hit only by weapons of +3 enchantment). They automatically continue to attack the same target they did on the previous round if the caster is slain, departs, or turns his or her attention to other spellcasting. (When such a spell is finished being cast, the caster may return his or her attention to the sword and hammer and reassign them to other targets if desired.)

The magical constructs created by sword and hammer strike silently, are nonmetallic, cannot be fooled by illusions, and cannot be magically controlled by anyone other than the caster. They vanish in a twinkling of lights when the spell expires or earlier if the caster wills the spell to end.
