Grimly's Outstretched Arms
(Alteration)

Range:  0
Components:  V, S, M
Duration:  2 rounds per level
Casting Time:  3
Area of Effect:  Person touched
Saving Throw:  None

This spell allows one person the ability to stretch either or both of his arms up to 1 foot longer per level of the caster. The outstretched arms may be lengthened or shortened as often as desired while the spell is in effect, although they may not be shortened more than they were to begin with. The person affected may fight with outstretched arms at -1 to-hit. Thieving abilities involving the hands may be performed with outstretched arms, although with a -5% penalty for every 2 feet the arms are outstretched. If an outstretched arm takes more than 15 points of slashing damage in one blow, it is severed. This spell can only be cast once per person while the spell is in effect (that is, a caster may not cast this spell on the same person twice before the duration of the first spell is finished, and neither can another caster). The material component is a bit of gum Arabic.
