Little Bird (Wizard Spell)

By casting this spell, the caster can direct one object to fly through the air under his con­trol. Although slow-moving (movement rate 6), the object can turn and stop at will (maneuver­ability class A) responding instantly to the caster's mental commands. The affected object can weigh no more than 1 lb. per level of the caster.
The little bird spell is generally employed as a laborsaving device, because its uses in com­bat are limited. A caster attempting to wrest an object from an enemy, for example, must over­come the enemy's Strength (The enemy can hold onto the object by making a successful Strength check, with a -2 bonus to the die roll). Alternatively, picking up a loose object and hurling it at an enemy requires a successful attack roll and inflicts no more than 1d3 points of damage. Some wizards, however, have been known to use this spell as a diversion (for instance, ringing a gong next to an enemy's head).
Notes: Uncommon for mentalists; otherwise very rare.
