Ironwood (spell)

Ironwood was a common spell used by wu jen in Kara-Tur. The spell was very rare outside Kara-Tur.

Effects
When cast, this spell made wood as strong as steel. The appearance and weight of the wood remained unchanged. The spell could be cast on a living plant, with a 50% chance of success. The plant's growth was unaffected but all parts of the plant, including leaves and flowers, became as steel. If cast on a plant-based creature, the spell paralyzed the creature.

Components
In addition to verbal and somatic components, the spell required material components, metal filling and the sap of a willow tree.
