Effect: The dweomer
of this spell causes metal,
whether as soft as gold
or as hard as adamantine, to turn to a crystalline
substance as brittle and fragile as crystal.
Thus a sword, metal shield,
metal armor, or even an iron golem can be
changed to a delicate, glass-like material
easily shattered by any forceful blow. <(Item
Saving Throws)>
Furthermore, this change
is unalterable short of by means of a wish spell;
i.e., dispel magic will
not reverse the spell.
The caster must physically
touch the target item -- equal to a hit in combat if the item is being
worn or wielded, or is a monster.
Any single metal item can
be affected by the spell.
Thus, a suit of armor being
worn by the subject can be turned to crystal,
but the subject's shield would not be affected, or vice versa.
All items gain a saving
throw equal to their magical bonus value or protection.
A +1/+3 sword would get
a 10% (average of the two plusses) to save;
+5 magic armor a 25% chance
to be unaffected;
an iron
golem a 15% chance to save (for it is hit only by magic weapons
of +3 or better quality).
Artifacts and relics of
metal have a 95% chance to be unaffected by the spell.
Affected items not immediately
protected will be shattered and permanently destroyed if struck by a normal
from a tool or any weighty weapon,
including a staff.
Wu
Jen: This spell converts any type of metal to a crystalline substance
that may be easily smashed by a normal blow.
Only a wish may reverse
the transformation.
Magical items gain a saving
throw of 5% per plus.
Artifacts and relics are
95% unlikely to be affected.
