Laeral's Gesture (Wizard Spell)

This spell allows its user to cast any cur­rently memorized spell of 3rd level or less in a casting time of 1 without verbal or material components, by means of a specific complex gesture. The spell to be affected is chosen, the gesture is cast, the caster casts the modified spell, and then she directs the effects of the chosen spell normally.
Only one Laeral's gesture can be memorized by any being at a time. There is no known way to make this magic govern spells of greater than 3rd level.
Laeral is (correctly) said to have devised this spell after being attacked while bathing-and necessarily parted from most all spell compo­nents-once too often.
Notes: Known to Laeral and some other wizards in the Forgotten Realms setting.
