Iron Sting

A spell to enchant a (max 1 lb) wholly metallic otherwise unenchanted object (projectile). The enchantment lays dormant until the project is thrown at a target (invocation) or until Duration expires. The success roll is made as the enchantment is invoked (thrown). If the spell fails, or a person other than the caster throws the projectile, the enchantment is lost and the projectile performs as an unenchanted mundane object.

If the caster throws the projectile, and the spell succeeds, a second test of Iron Sting EML is made to determine missile accuracy (instead of testing Throwing skill). The projectile has the range modifiers given for a Taburi. Upon striking the target, the projectile's Impact is increased by CSI with CS or CSI/2 with MS.

Bonus Effects

CML 90+: Caster can lay the enchantment in "open mode". Such a projectile can be cast by a person other than the caster. In such cases, the enchantment is invoked by throwing and the accuracy is determined by testing the throwers Throwing ML.
