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.
