The casting of this spell causes the priest’s hands to temporarily develop short, thick claws, like those of a catlike carnivore. This allows the priest to make two attacks per round, inflicting 1d4+1 points of damage per set of claws, and allowing attacks against monsters struck only by magical weapons. The priest is still able to manipulate objects while this spell is in effect and can cast spells as well.

Scrapings from the claws of a carnivore, preferably a feline one, m required.

Notes: Common for shamans from mas where great cats range. Very rare for druids. (Updated from DRAGON Magazine.)
