Embrittle Alteration Tier: 2 Components: Verbal, Somatic Casting Time: 1 major action Ritual Casting Time: 5 minutes Range: 40 ft Target: One metal object (or part of a larger object) of up to small size. Duration: 2 rounds/level Saving Throw: Spell negates (object) The hinge resists no longer, its shards scattering across the floor as the door falls inwards. The target object becomes brittle, reducing its hardness by 5 for the duration of the spell, thereby making the object easier to damage. Rolling a natural 1 on an attack with a weapon subject to this spell causes it to take damage equal to the amount it would have dealt on a hit.
