Blade Hand

The caster consumes any sword he/she is holding and transforms their free hand/arm into a sword of the appropriate type consumed. The material component (the sword) is immediately consumed (destroyed). A ranged touch attack is then performed with the damage on a successful attack equal to that of the base damage of the sword consumed plus any appropriate modifiers. If the sword consumed is magical, only the plus modifier or the sword is applied to both attack and damage. Any special effects/abilities of the magical blade are not used and the sword is still consumed. Regardless of a successful attack or not, the material component (the sword) is consumed and destroyed and the casters arm/hand returns to normal at the end of the action. If no action is taken after the casting of the spell, the material component is still consumed and the casters arm/hand returns to normal.
