Rapid Reflexive Response (Wizard Spell)

When cast, this spell enables the caster to grab hurled or projected missiles, such as arrows, axes, bolts, small stones or similar ob­jects that weigh less than seven pounds, out of the air and immediately hurl them back at the attacker with a +4 bonus on the attack roll.
The caster can grab one object with each hand and return them in the same round. An attack roll is required for each attack. The spell expires at the end of the stated duration or as soon as the caster performs an action other than the reflexive response. (The spell speeds up the caster's reflexes to a superhuman level, so to perform a normal action, such as casting a spell, the caster must end this spell.)
This spell was claimed by the infamous Ramael the Reader, but most Halruans give credit to the famous Mycontil.
The spell requires a glove once worn by a halfling (or a throwing weapon specialist), shaving of licorice root, and a frog's tongue. The caster cats the latter two components as part of the casting. The glove remains and can be reused.
Notes: Common in the Halruaa region of the Forgotten Realms setting; otherwise, rare.
