Magic spells to summon weapons

Post by Mindstone »

Hey,

I was playing EOTB and there was a cleric spell called Fireblade, which summoned a...fireblade (unsurprisingly enough!) into the casters hand.

I thought this would work great in Dungeon Master. Effectively, you cast a generic set of runes to summon a sword, and then add elemental runes for fire, poison, or lightning, or what-have-you.

Thus far I can think of:

Ra blade (Ra)
Ven Blade (Ven)
Lightning blade (Thingy)
Ghost blade (Majig)

Is this implementable?

=)

I believe DM Java snuck this fireblade (and I think a ranged bow spell) in. I forget the runes.

You can simply use SWAP_CHARACTER_HANDS/SWAP_CHARACTER_HAND_RIGHT to make an object "turn into" the given summoned weapon.
It's actually quite a simple trick :P
