This spell calls into existence a whip-like tendril of force which the wizard grasps and uses to strike foes. The whip inflicts 2d6 HP of damage on a hit. The wizard's effective Strength when using the whip is dictated by his level. Consult the following table for the wizard's effective Strength.

	Level	Strength	Level	Strength
	9	9	20	18/60
	10	10	21	18/90
	11	11	22	18/95
	12	12	23	18/00
	13	13	24	19
	14	14	25	20
	15	15	26	21
	16	16	27	22
	17	17	28	23
	18	18	29	24

Beyond thirtieth level, the spell has reached its maximum potential; neither duration nor effective Strength increase. The wizard is treated as a fighter of half his level when casting this spell, and the wizard may cast no other spells while using the whip (though he may prematurely terminate the spell). The material component is a whip made of braided gold and mithril fibre worth at least 200 gp.
