This spell creates a powerful bolt of stone, approximately two feet long, which strikes its target without fail up to the maximum range. The bolt inflicts 1d6 points of damage per level, to a maximum of 10d6. As well, any creature struck by the bolt must save versus petrification or be stunned for one round per two levels of the wizard. A separate saving throw is also allowed for half damage. The bolt can be used to open doors as a frost giant and inflicts damage to structures as a large catapult. Objects struck by the bolt may have to make a saving throw versus crushing blow to avoid being destroyed, at the DM's option. The material component of the spell is a polished piece of marble.
