At least with a crossbow, they have to pay for the bolts, it is obvious that they are armed, and the crossbow can be sundered, disarmed, taken away, etc.The entire point of this spell is to shore up a game weakness which was explicitly put in on purpose due to the power potential of wizards and sorcerers.This spell solution is just a way to avoid that game weakness.This spell, even at 20 times per day, is more potent than any other first level spell. Plus, the caster does not need to lug around the weight of that crossbow and bolts to get the same effect. Plus, the 1000 GP per level focus would prevent anyone from taking it anyway.I think this spell is a poor idea and merely a way to avoid some of the limitations of being a wizard or sorcerer. IMO.</blockquote>
