Duration: 1 turn/level

Casting Time: 1 segment

Area of effect: Special

Saving Throw: None

This spell is used to seek out and destroy one of the most feared enemies of the mage: the bookworm. When cast, the spell creates a disembodied hand that will search through the library and crush all bookworms it finds. The hand can search through 100 books or scrolls/round, seeking out bookworms with a 95% chance of detection. Once a worm is found, the hand will pursue the bookworm relentlessly, attacking with the skill of a fighter equal in level to the caster. The hand cannot be harmed by physical attacks, but four or more points of magical damage can destroy it. The hand is incapable of performing any other functions. The material component is a child-sized glove of tough leather.
