Hello, 

	I hereby send you a spell of my own making, which you can
include in the Net Spellbook, if you like.
	(BTW I loved the first one)

	Kalim's Staff Swinger (Alteration)

	School : Alteration
	Level : 3
	Components : V,S,M
	Range : 3 yards/level
	Duration : See below
	Area of effect : Caster's staff
	Saving Throw : None
	Casting Time : 3

	Description :

	With this spell, the caster enchants his own quarterstaff into a
special "throwing staff". He can then swing it over his head and hurl it
with great speed at his opponents.
	The staff is considered magical to determine what it can hit.
	The quarterstaff strikes with a THAC0 equal to a Fighter of
equal level (plus any Str bonuses -- for f/m for example -- and any
magical bonuses). So a +1 staff enchanted by a 5-th level wizard with
normal STR would strike at THAC0 15.
	Damage done is 2d6 + 1d6 per 2 levels over 3rd.
	(So, 3d6 at 5th; 4d6 at 7th; and max. 5d6 at 9th).
	When the staff hits something, or when it goes out of spell
range, it returns in the direction of the caster.
	The wizard then has to make a Dex check with a bonus of 2, to
avoid dropping the staff and losing a full round recovering it.
	This hurling is strenous business, and the wizard can only do it
for (Con DIV 3) rounds. After that he cannot engage in any too strenous
activity (so, no spellcasting or combat; movement halved) for 1d4
rounds.

This spell was developed by the Perendor Kalim, a well-known Transmuter,
who lives in the Waterdeep (FR) area. He is still adventuring and has
been known to work on a new (defensive) spell, something that involved
air shields...

Hope you liked it. Bye.
