Wheat into Blade (Priest Spell)

This spell transforms the stalk of any living, cul­tivated plant, taller than the caster's knee into a weightless, nonmetallic, nonreflective 7-foot long magical spear +2 usable by the caster without any nonproficiency penalty. (If wielded by others, they must be proficient in the use of a spear to avoid penalties.) If thrown, this weapon strikes once and vanishes, dealing 8 points of damage to any crea­ture it strikes. If set to receive a charge, it inflicts triple maximum damage (24 points) at one suc­cessful attack and then vanishes. The caster can never be harmed by his own plant-spear, even if repeatedly attacked by someone else wielding it.
This magic does not work on plants that are magically controlled by another entity. In such cases, it identifies the condition and acts as an unbreakable hold plant spell of 1 turn duration.
Multiple wheat into blade spells can create a long, durable, unbreakable plant-pole. If a stalk is touched to one end of a plant-spear while a second wheat into blade spell is cast, it will fuse onto the first.
Notes: Granted by Chauntea, the Great Mother, of the Forgotten Realms setting. This spell is found only in a few exceptionally rare tomes.
