Mordenkainen's Sword, Icewind Dale 1

Mordenkainen's Sword IWD1

Mordenkainen's Sword is an IWD arcane spell in Black Isle's cRPG of 1999, Icewind Dale 1. Mordenkainen's Sword summons a caster-wielded sword that hits -- from range -- at +2 enchantment and inflicts 5-30 damage per hit. Mord Sword debuffs Fighter/Mage THAC0 but that is nothing Tenser's Transformation won't fix.

• This spell summons a shimmering sword of force that can be mentally wielded by the caster. It strikes as if it were being used by a fighter at half the level of the caster, and despite the fact it is held in the hand, it can hit creatures anywhere within the sight of the caster. Although the sword has no bonus to attack, it can hit creatures normally hit only by +2 weapons or greater and inflicts 5-30 hit points with every strike.
