Faerie Sword - Elf

This spell creates a slender, shimmering sword in the caster's hands. The sword gives a single-class mage a +4 to hit, and can hit creatures that can be hit only by magical weapons. The sword inflicts 4d4 points of damage against man-sized or smaller opponents, and 5d4 points against larger creatures.

A caster who successfully attacks can elect to inflict either damage or a random magical effect upon the target. If the caster elects to inflict a magical effect, roll d100, add the caster's level, and refer to the table.

The material component of this spell is a tiny gold or crystal sword (worth at least 250 gp), which disappears immediately after the spell is cast.
