Alustriel's Sword of Stars (Wizard Spell)

This spell creates a shimmering, translucent construct of force. This construct is a cluster of winking, pulsing lights that resemble stars in the night sky, grouped in the shape of a two-handed sword of the largest size. For purposes of deter­mining what it can hit, this construct is consid­ered a +2 magical weapon, though it does not gain this attack or damage bonus.
This sword of stars forms on the round follow­ing the spell's casting and silently attacks a cho­sen target creature. It pursues, attacking twice per round at a THAC0 of 9 (regardless of the caster's own THAC0, and dealing 4d4 points of damage at a successful strike, until the target being is slain, the sword of stars is destroyed, or the spell expires. The sword can follow a being anywhere on the same plane, though long distance (deports cause the magic to expire before the pursuing sword reaches its target.
A sword of stars flies at a movement rate of 21 (MC: A). It has an AC of-2 and has 22 hit points. It vanishes if destroyed by physical attacks. Mag­ical attacks of any sort have no effect on it at all, save that dispel magic or a properly worded lim­ited wish or wish spell can make it vanish. The magical blade fights by itself, not requiring the caster's attention once created.
The material component of this spell is any metal-bladed weapon. The weapon is consumed in the casting, so cheap daggers or tiny replicas are most often used.
Notes: Restricted to the Seven Sisters, their apprentices, and select Harpers; rare or very rare.
