Melt Metal (Wizard Spell)

Using this spell, the wu jen can gently touch a normal metal item, causing a charge of fiery magical energy to pass from his fingertip to the metal. This creates such heat that the metal begins to melt and flow at the rate of one cubic inch per round. Bars and locks can be easily cut free with this spell. During the spell, the wu jen must concentrate on focusing the energy and can take no other action. The spell affects only normal metallic items.
The material component for this spell is a gem worth at least 20 ch'ien (100 gp).
Notes: Common in oriental settings; other­wise very rare.
