<u>Spell #75</u>
Baneblade
When this spell is cast upon a weapon, that weapon becomes magically attuned to a single being named by the wizard during casting. When in combat with that being, the weapon's potency increases, allowing its wielder greater ability in combat against this single foe.
The foe must be a specific being (i.e., the spell can be made to work "Against Hrothgar Bloodaxe, Son of Ulth Grayspear of the Elk Tribe of the Chayk", not "Against any Chayk warrior I happen to meet"). The bonuses gained through this spell do not apply to combat with other beings, even if the wielder of the enchanted weapon is fighting a second opponent along with the named enemy.
The spell ends after a month if the wielder of the weapon has not entered combat with the named enemy in that time. Despite the spell's name, any type of hand weapon can be enchanted using this magic.
