Spell Resistance: Yes
This very flexible spell enables you to create a visible (though translucent) plane of force that can be shaped into any form you desire. You could create a table, ladder, club, bucket, stilts, or cane, for example. Once an object is formed, it retains its form for the duration of the spell. The object imitated must be fairly rigid, can have no moving parts, cannot have a sharp point or edge, and cannot possess finely detailed features. A rope, bow, sword, chariot, or accurate statue cannot be created with the spell. Objects formed of force in this matter are invulnerable to physical attacks, and react to magic as a wall of force. The object simulated cannot have any single dimension larger than one foot per caster level. That is, a 10th level caster could create a 10 ft. x 10 ft. x 10 ft. object, or anything smaller. If the object's dimension would be measured as a radius, halve the maximum size of the simulated object.
Material Component: A lump of soft clay with diamond dust (worth 50 gold pieces) mixed into it.
