(TFT) Have we done this one yet?

[<srydzews@ix.netcom.com>]

A new(?) spell:

Weapon Call - 1 ST, IQ 10, thrown spell
This spell instantly transfers whatever was 
last in the caster's primary hand back to 
his hand.  If the item is at a distance normal 
range penalties apply.  
  The item must have truly been held by the 
caster, he can not have merely been touching 
it.  If the item has been destroyed of course 
the spell has no effect.

Item: a thrown weapon (or other item) that 
returns to the thrower if he desires at cost 
of 1 ST.  4 wks, $250ci per week 

Originally I had the following 
additional limit on the spell:

"In addition a -1 DX penalty applies for every 
combat round that has passed since the item 
and caster were parted."

That may be excessive.  I was worried
about people using it to retrieve gems
and other valuables they spent, but all 
that's needed to circumvent that is a 
custom where merchants require you
to pick up a lump of lead (or whatever,
something worthless) after paying
for an item.

Another use for it would be to instantly
bring to hand a well-concealed weapon on 
your own person.
