With this spell, the caster creates a number of magical knife-like blades of energy, which speed from the casters hand at the target, as if thrown by a fighter of a level equal to the level of the caster, with the caster's Dexterity bonus applicable. The missiles cannot affect astral, ethereal, or out of phase targets, nor does it affect non-corporeal targets. Invisible targets can be struck, however, if their location is known to the caster. The caster can create two missiles plus one additional missile for every two levels above third that the caster has obtained, to a maximum of five missiles at ninth level or higher. Each missile that successfully strikes its target inflicts 1d6 HP of damage. Attack rolls must be made for each missile, and more then one creature may be targeted.
In addition, at the caster's option, one missile may be forfeited to gain a +2 bonus to hit and damage with all other missiles created. This does not enable the caster to strike the above noted creatures, however. The material component is a finely crafted miniature dagger of at least 500 gp in value which is not consumed by the casting.
