Description
A nature spirit imbues a weapon you are holding. For the duration, you can use your spellcasting ability instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of melee attacks using that weapon, and the weapon's damage die becomes a d8. If the weapon isn't already a magic weapon, it becomes one for the duration. The spell ends early if you cast it again or if you let go of the weapon.
At Higher Levels
The damage die changes at levels 5 (d10), 11 (d12), and 17 (2d6).
