Shrapnel Shot
(Alteration, Evocation)

Range:  120 yards + 10 yards per level
Components:  V, S, M
Duration:  Instantaneous
Casting Time:  1
Area of Effect:  One creature
Saving Throw:  1/2

This spell fires a burst of shrapnel at the target. The shrapnel travels in a straight line towards the target. Any intervening creatures must save versus dragon breath or be the spell's new target.
The target is hit by 1d8 pieces of shrapnel, plus one piece of shrapnel per level of the caster. Each piece causes 1 HP of damage and counts as a separate attack (great for reducing spells such as stoneskin). A saving throw versus spell reduces the number of hits by half. The maximum number of hits is 1d8+8 at eighth level. The hits from the rocks themselves cannot be countered by magic resistance, as they are natural rocks. However, the enhancement that allows the rocks to damage magical creatures is affected by magic resistance.
The material component of this spell is a stone that weighs at least one pound.
