Putting all that aside, has anyone else noticed how silly this ability is? A parchment scroll "in the hands of a wizard" carries the same damage as a short sword? Really? And it can have reach? Give me a break. And by doing a d6 in damage a piece of parchment loses 1 hp only. Look, if it's hard enough to act like a short sword, it shouldn't be damaged at all. If it's not, one try should rip it apart. Many other issues i won't bother mentioning. I really dislike this whole concept as written.
