Magic Stone (spell)

Range	20 ft.
Duration	10 rounds per level; see below
Area of Effect	1 stone per level
Casting Time	1 round
Saving Throw	none
Level	cleric (1st)

Causes an ordinary stone to become a magical projectile when thrown at an opponent. Once the spell has been cast and the stone has been invested with magic, it may be thrown by any person who is also of the caster's religion. The stone must be held and not put down, or the magic dissipates. If it is hurled at an enemy, however, the stone will automatically cause 3 hit points of damage. Because of the dweomer, the thrower need only hit AC 10 to cause this damage.

The range adjustments of the stone are as follows: 1-3 hexes (+/-0); 4-5 hexes (-2 to hit); 6-7 hexes (-5 to hit). Stones thrown past 7 hexes lose their magic and cause no damage. As well, a stone that is fumbled and dropped also loses its magic.

tawkra ball

It is possible to insert up to four stones into a tawkra ball, a wicker ball which will sustain the magic. Only one tawkra may be used per casting of the spell. If the tawkra is used in this way, the combined damage of all the stones contained inside will affect the target at once.

The spell cannot affect stones that are already magical.
