Bone Javelin Spell, from the Old 1e book, from 1996 (collected spells date back to 1975 though, so how old is this spell?). Wizard Spell Compendium.
- Diablo 2's Necormancer (game release year 2000) had Bone Spear. Sounds super similar. I bet this spell was first. From the TSR Spell Compendium (1e?).
- Page121 said it'd go through doors depending on door material.
- Can hit others if it misses orig target.
- Spell Description and Stats - Bone Javelin
- Level 7 spell
- Roll to hit. Range 10 yrds per lvl of caster.
- Lasts 1 rnd per level of caster.
- Can pause attacking with it one round to cast other spells, etc.
- Twists and turns and finds target. Speed 30 (yards or feet?) per round.
- Can target undead, other planar, etc. creatures.
- Does 1d4 + 1 pt. per lvl of caster in 1e.
- DnD 5e, I'd change to something like 3d6 + 2 pt.s per lvl of caster. Needs something else, like stuns or easier to hit or something to use a level 7 spell on, something major. It has to be WAY better than Cantrips at level 7. So let's compare
- at level 17 how much does firebolt or eldrich blast do? This is a level 7 spell after all.
- Firebolt is 4d10.
- Eldritch blast is what... 4d10 plus dragging them into thorns or AOE. Or maybe dropping them from high (fly) for extra 2d6 dmg.
- In the Book of Shangalar the Black (Male Lich) https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Shangalar_the_Black
- Ah ha! 1990 this spell came out in Dragon Mag. https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Dragon_magazine_164
BTW. Bones of the Earth were also in this old 1e book. Wizard Spell Compendium.
