This spell allows a bone construct to be strengthened and made denser. The strength of the bone is doubled by the casting of this spell. The spell takes one round to cast, and 2 rounds of chanting while the material component is absorbed into the target of the spell. The material component is a piece of bone that is a near perfect match to the object of the spell. The component is then placed against the object and absorbed into it. The new object will be twice as dense and twice as strong, with regards to weapons, they receive no penalties to-hit and damage, and they will not break on a maximum damage strike. There is a 2% chance per level of the caster that the strengthened bone will act as steel.
