This simple spell allows wizards to create small glass objects (up to 3 pounds) out of sand. If used creatively, it is a handy spell for many situations. The caster can shape the glass in any way he wants, but trying to duplicate an existing object or creating something complex or valuable will require the proper artistic proficiencies. The caster can produce either transparent or translucent glass. Common products of this spell are cups, bowls, vials, small windows, crystal bullets, cutting shards, and so on. The spell itself doesn't produce sharp enough edges for cutting, but this can be done after the glass is made. It takes at least one round to prepare the glass, plus a variable time for the shaping, dependant on the object's complexity (DM's discretion).
The material component of this spell is a small crystal lens to concentrate any light source stronger than torchlight on the sand. The lens is not expended.
