Hobar made a few minor adjustments to a previous spell and also gained a few levels before designing this improved version of nasty shards (q.v.). The spell's effects are the about same, but the shards are larger and tend to resemble daggers. A 17th-level wizard would be able to hit 4 targets.
Material components are a silver dagger and a lodestone. The dagger is destroyed during the casting, but the lodestone remains intact.
