Reconstruction

By means of this spell, a wizard can temporarily restore or make whole a broken physical object, even if it is badly shattered and with portions or parts missing. The item is fully restored and can function normally for the duration of the spell.

The reconstructed item will stand up to almost every test as identical to the original object—smell, touch, and physical properties. A detect magic spell will reveal the spell's dweomer, and a true seeing spell or equivalent will show the item as truly broken.

A fragmented gold coin can be restored to full size by this spell, as can a crushed gem. A magical item restored will radiate magic (from the spell) but will not regain lost magical properties. Attempts to render a repair permanent with permanency or enchant a weapon spell will cause the reconstruction spell to end immediately. A reconstructed item can be broken again, which breaks the spell. At the end of the spell duration, the item falls apart again.

Living things cannot be affected by a reconstruction spell, nor can an unbroken item be restored to the original form of its component materials.

The material components of this spell are a pinch of fine sand and a dollop of sticky sap or gum.

Notes: Very rare spell from the Forgotten Realms setting. Known to be in The Alcaister.
