Optionally, the caster can also change its now-shrunkencomposition to a cloth-like one. Only living things are entitled to a saving throw versus spell, but each such save is at + 4. Objects and creatures transformed to cloth make saving throws normally (as if not altered) against subsequent attacks. Objects changed by an itemspell can be returned to normal composition and size merely by tossing them onto any solid surface or by word of command from the original spell caster. It is possible to affect a fire and its fuel with this spell.Ah, the joys of the dragon releasing the Itemized stones from above as he bathed the crushed invaders in cleansing draconic breath...</blockquote>
