The bone blade spell is similar to bone shield, in that it can be cast for yourself or for another. The spell requires a single tooth to be shaped into the final blade.

Bone Blade is similar to the Cleric spell Spirit Hammer in that it creates a temporary weapon, with some small differences:

  • Bone Blade, unlike Spirit Hammer, can be cast on a target to provide them with a weapon
  • The weapon's damage is based on the target's strength at cast time instead of the caster's (though it uses the caster's if they are the target)
  • Bone Blade does not have NECRO_CAST_LEVEL like Cleric's Spirit Hammer has CLER_CAST_LEVEL
  • You cannot specify a damage type or two-handedness like you can with Spirit Hammer

A Bone Blade will identify similarly to this (values changing based on cast level). Note: due to the weapon's lack of damroll and lower hitroll it may be flagged as JUNK. Bone Blade's main selling point is its PARRY and HIT_POINTS values.
