Her broadsword dissolves into a pile of dust and flakes with a wave of your hand.

This spell produces a ray of red light which corrodes iron objects (iron alloys are also affected). This spell deals 2d6 points of damage +1 per two caster levels, ignoring hardness.

You can target wielded weapons and worn armor with this spell (a weapon’s touch AC equals the wielder’s, adjusted by the weapon’s size). Armor damaged by this spell loses 1d4 points of armor class due to corrosion. A weapon which is reduced to half HP takes a -1 penalty on attack and damage.

Magic items often prove highly resistant to this spell.
