Maximum damage

Maximum damage was an alteration spell that increased the lethality of non-magical weapons.

Effects
Upon casting this spell, the caster enhanced a number of mundane, non-enchanted weapons, causing them to be particularly harmful and inflict the maximum amount of damage of which they were capable. At least nine weapons could be affected by a single casting of maximum damage but this number increased with the skill and power of the caster. The duration of this spell lasted only a matter of seconds.

This spell had no effects on previously enchanted, or otherwise magical weapons.

Usage
This spell was unique to the elves of Evermeet. The specifications of its casting were a well-kept secret of island realm.

Casting
In addition to verbal and somatic components, this spell required a rod of silver, worth at least 100 gp. Any weapons affected by this spell had to be in contact with the rod at the time of its casting.
