Daggerveil [Animation, Metal]

Level: Might of Talos 3

Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
This spell creates a swarm of quickly moving self-animated knives swirling about
you. The swarm fills your own square as well as any square you are adjacent to.
It is not a creature, nor does it act like one. When you move, the swarm follow
s you.
At the end of each of your turns, any creature other than yourself that is withi
n the swarm's area takes 1d6 magic slashing and piercing damage, plus an additio
nal point of damage per Caster Level.
In addition, as a swift action on your turn, you may fire one dagger at a target
within 30'. This functions in all ways like a thrown weapon attack except a suc
cessful hit deals 1d6 + your Caster Level magic piercing and slashing damage and
you do not add your Strength modifier to the attack's damage.
Deflecting Daggerveil [Animation, Metal]
Level: Might of Talos 9
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
You surround yourself in a whirling barrier of blades that sends any attack that
misses you hurling back toward its source. When an attacker misses you due to y
our Armor Class (but not an attack that misses you due to other circumstances, s
uch as concealment), he must immediately make a second attack roll against himse
lf: if he hits his own Armor Class, he suffers the effects of the attack, using
any attack or damage modifiers of the original attack. If the attack carried non
-damage side effects (such as a Strength penalty), they also apply to the attack
er.
This spell also functions as daggerveil, except as noted here.
