Slicing Spell

A spell which will slice at an object, living or inanimate.
== How to cast the Spell ==
Center yourself and fling your hand towards the person or object you wish to slice as you speak the incantation, "Lacero". If you can touch the object, for extra precision, trace a line on the object where you wish the cut to be made as you cast.
== Power of Spell ==
Depending on the caster's strength and ability, if the spell works, here is what will happen:
1-4 = If the spell works, it will give the object or person the equivalent of a papercut.
5-9 = The spell will probably work, and it will create a moderate slash on soft surfaces such as flesh or canvas.
10-14 = Not only will the spell work, but the caster can make a slash with each of their five fingers at once, if they choose to do so.
15-19 = The spell will definitely work and the caster can control where and how deep it will cut with precision. However, they can only cut through things with the strength of a sharp knife.
20+ = Spellcasters of this strength can use the spell to decapitate or remove limbs. They can slice through bone or rock. They also no longer need to speak the incantation and can merely center themselves and and focus their energy through their their finger tips.
== Recommended Uses ==
* Making a clean surgical cut
* Sculpting
* Slashing your enemies
== Possible Complications ==
=== Animate Objects ===
If you cut an animate object it will bleed, so keep in mind this can be messy.
=== Inanimate Objects ===
Slicing isn't usually the best way to damage inanimate objects, though it can be useful on fabrics or paper.
