Magic Disk (Wizard Spell)

This spell conjures a glowing disk of magi­cal energy about a foot in diameter. The witch can throw the disk at opponents once per round. The device confers a +3 bonus to attack rolls and can affect creatures struck only by magical weapons. The disc can be hurled at an opponent fleeing around a corner and it will follow, but this reduces the attack bonus to +1. A hit inflicts 1 point of damage upon the target creature. After each throw, the disk returns to the witch's hand, ready for the next round.
Instead of throwing the disk multiple times, the witch may instead choose to expend all the disk's energy in a single hit. In this event, the magic disk inflicts 1d6 points of damage, plus 1 point per level to a maximum of 1d6+10. The witch can specify normal or subdual dam­age (the latter is 25% real and 75% temporary). If the witch misses, the disk returns and can be thrown each round, until a hit is scored or the duration runs out.
The material component is a silver piece.
Notes: Restricted to witches (and optionally force mages); common. An earlier version of this spell, differing only in the shape of the force, was magic boomerang (which might be allowed to Savage mages).
