This spell turns an ordinary weapon into a magical one.

The weapon is the equivalent of a +1 weapon but has no bonuses whatsoever. Thus, arrows, axes, bolts, bows, daggers, hammers, maces, spears, swords, etc. con be made into enchanted weapons. Two small (arrows, bolts, daggers, etc.) or one large (axe, bow, hammer, mace, efc.) weapon can be affected by the spell. Note that successful hits by enchanted missile weapons cause the spell to be broken, but that otherwise the spell duration lasts until the time limit based on the level of experience of the magic-user casting it expires, i.e. 40 rounds (4 turns) in the case of an 8th level magic-user.

The material components of this spell are powdered lime and carbon.

Campaign Rule. Disenchant Weapon. The reversed spell has a casting time of 4 segments. The spell will make one weapon (or more depending on size) perform as mundane for the duration of the spell. When the caster casts the spell, they can make a contact attack to touch a creature holding or carrying a weapon or an unattended weapon. Mundane weapons are immune to this effect. If a magical weapon is the target of the spell, it will make the weapon mundane for the duration of the spell. One Medium-sized or larger weapon can be the target of the spell or up to two Small-sized weapons. If Ammunition is the target of the spell, up to 20 pieces of ammunition can be affected. If cast on a creature, the caster can choose the weapons affected (if they are aware of them). Any unattended weapons must be within 10-ft. of the initial weapon touched by the caster. Additional magical attributes of the weapon (if any) won't function for the duration of the spell. Limitations: Artifacts and relics are immune to this spell. Certain unique weapons or those unique to extra-planar creatures are also immune to this spell (per the GM). Weapons affected by the spell are still considered magical (as per the original item) with regards to saving throws or activities that could destroy the item.

Polyhedron #21; Dispel Confusion, p.29: ADQ: What good is the enchanted weapon spell, if it confers "no bonuses whatsoever" (PH pg. 76)? Is this really a 4th level spell effect?ADA: If a +1 weapon is required to damage a creature, this spell will allow any weapon treated to inflict normal damage. Since the caster must be 7th level, presumably accompanied by characters of similar power, most probably have at least one magical weapon; but if not, this spell can be critical (despite its long casting time). This spell is most useful, however, to higher level characters adventuring on other planes of existence, where a weapon's status may be reduced from magical to mundane due to the interplanar distance from the weapon's point of origin. In addition, when an intelligent magical weapon becomes non-magical as a result of such travel, its intelligence is trapped incommunicado; this spell will restore it to magical status, thus enabling communication and the use of the weapon's special abilities.
