**Casting Time** 1 standard action **Components** V, S **Range** touch **Target** 1 melee weapon touched **Duration** 1 minute/level (D) Lead blades increases the momentum and density of a melee weapon just as they strike a foe. The touched melee weapon deals damage as if one size category larger than they actually are. For instance, a Medium longsword normally deals 1d8 points of damage, but it would instead deal 2d6 points of damage if benefiting from lead blades.
