Fang Fist (Wizard Spell)

This spell temporarily transforms one of the caster's arms, from elbow to fingertips, into a snakelike, flexible body ending in a fanged, bit­ing mouth. It is retractable, from a minimum of 1 foot in length to a maximum of 15 feet, and can lash out with lightning speed, to surprise foes who think they're out of reach.
This "snake-arm" strikes with a bonus of +1 to all attack rolls, and bites for 1d8+4 points of dam­age. It can't be combined with poison effects, and the caster can use only verbal-component spells while it's in existence. The arm is AC 4, and will turn back to the caster's real arm if dealt more than 12 points of damage in a single round (the caster takes all damage suffered by the arm in the normal way). The caster can also return the arm to normal at will; however, this ends the spell.
The snake-arm's jaws can grip and hold items such as wands and ropes. By curling its lips over the teeth, it can grasp quite firmly without sink­ing its teeth into fragile objects. The snake-arm has the same strength as the caster's real arm.
Notes: Restricted to Alhoon; common.
