Can someone please explain to me why Mage's Sword is a 7th level spell? It is wildly under powered and here's why:
1. It only gets 1 attack each round. At 7th level it should get iterative attacks.
2. It takes a standard action to move it. If the subject of the spell moves, the sword has to follow and therefore cannot attack that round.
3. You have to roll to hit each round as a straight up melee attack, not a touch attack.
4. If you don't beat SR the spell is wasted.
I thought this spell was wicked cool before I wasted my one 7th level spell slot on it (I'm a 14th level sorcerer). What a let down.
