You can either spend 4 hours or 1 standard action casting this spell. Druids can only use the standard action version of this spell. The 4-hour version of ''Metal shape ''enables you to form one existing piece of metal into any shape that suits your purpose. While it is possible to make mechanical objects, masterwork quality is not possible. There is a 20% chance that any shape that includes moving parts simply doesn’t work. Armor cannot be formed, but you can attempt to make a buckler if htere is enough material and you're proficient with bucklers. Damage-dealing parts of weapons can be made, but it can't deal any type of damage other than bludgeoning damage, and you must be proficient with the weapon. Since the handle would also have to be made of the same level as the blade, the craftsmanship of the weapon is going to be non-masterwork regardless of the result.
This does not alter the variety of metal (i.e. silver to gold), only shapes it.
The standard action version of the spell bends and warps an amount of metal into an unusable form. If the object is attended, the attender can let the object use its Will save bonus to resist the effect.
Weapons warped this way immediately count as improvised weapons that deal 1d4 damage on a successful hit. If the damage die was smaller than a d4, use the smaller damage die instead.
''Focus:'' the metal that is intended to be shaped. This is only for the 4-hour version of the spell.
