Level: c2	-	Range: 3"	-	Duration: 1r*
Components: v.s.m	-	CT: 5	-	Save: Special
Area: One opponent	-	-	-	-

Effect: By calling upon his or her deity,
the cleric casting a spiritual hammer spell brings into existence a field of force which is
shaped vaguely like a hammer.

This AREA of force is hammer-sized,
and as long as the cleric who invoked it concentrates upon the hammer,
it will strike at any opponent within its range as desired by the cleric.
The force AREA strikes as a magical weapon equal to one plus per 3 levels of experience of the spell caster for purposes of being able to strike creatures,
although it has no magical plusses whatsoever "to hit",
and the damage it causes when it scares a hit is exactly the same as a normal war hammer,
i.e. 1-6 versus opponents of man-size or smaller, 1-4 upon larger opponents.
Furthermore, the hammer strikes at exactly the same level as the cleric controlling it,
just as if the cleric was personally wielding the weapon.
As soon as the cleric ceases concentration, the spiritual hammer is dispelled.
Note: If the cleric is behind an opponent, the force can strike
from this position, thus gaining all bonuses for such an attack and negating
defensive protections such as shield and dexterity.

MC: The material component of this spell is a normal war hammer which the cleric must hurl towards opponents whilst uttering a plea to his or her deity. The hammer disappears when the spell is cast.

<note: dmg for hammer is given as 2-5 / 1-4>
<hammer : costs 1 gp, 50 gp weight>


 

SA: Commune, Divination, Spiritual Hammer — The Astral Plane
is not considered “neutral territory” to the gods, as the PMP is.
Spells like commune, divination, and spiritual hammer will not function astrally
— unless the cleric’s deity lives on the Astral Plane —
because to succeed, they require direct intervention by the deity or a minion of the deity.
The gods who inhabit the Astral Plane would take offense if such a thing were allowed to happen — so it does not happen.
