Goad of misfortune

Goad of misfortune was an evocation spell that created a metal bullhook in the hands of the caster.

Effects
When this spell was cast, it created a 4-foot-long (1.2 meters), non-bladed elephant goad. When wielded as a weapon by the casting cleric, the goad was particularly damaging when used to deliberately attack items. Additionally, it allowed the wielder to dimension door when they struck a person or creature, up to three times in rapid succession.

There was another version of the spell that created a goad of misfortune that remained suspended in midair. This goad struck any person or creature that wandered nearby, without the added dimension door or item-destroying properties.

Components
In addition to verbal and somatic components, this spell required an iron bar that was consumed during casting.

History
The specifications of this spell were found in the Beshaban relic, the Black Book.
