Call bones

Call bones was an obscure elven spell.

Effects
When the spell was cast, any of the target's bones that the caster chose simply tore free of their meat and floated quickly towards the caster. Doing this to a living person's skull was bound to kill them.

History
The spell had been developed by Napraeleon Echorn to more efficiently part meat from bones when working on larger prey, eight or seven centuries prior to the year, in roughly. In, his descendant, Delmuth Echorn, attempted to use it in order to slay Elminster Aumar. The spell was reflected, killing Delmuth and turning his skull into a hazard that Elminster reflected with his shield; the skull was still flying fast enough to strike a distant person some time later, Athtar Nlossae, and kill him.

Elminster later used a perfected version of a similar spell in, deboning a number of Cormyrean nobles in protection of their king, Foril Obarskyr I.
