An early spell of Avasir, this spell allows the caster to strike with a "Touch" spell at a distance. It must be cast on the round before the "Touch" spell is cast. This spell remains in effect for one round, until the second spell is cast. As the "Touch" spell is cast a beam of brilliant silver light flies from the caster's hand. The beam, if it successfully strikes acts as a "Touch" attack for spell or special ability purposes. This beam unerringly strikes its target unless a Save vs. Spells is made. The target suffers a -1 penalty for every 4 levels of experience of the caster. If the beam misses it is treated as a grenade-like missile for hit determination.
