As stone shape, except as noted above and that you affect metal instead of stone.
You may employ this spell in combat with a successful melee touch attack. Shape metal successfully used in this way against a target’s armour reduces the armour’s protection by 1d6 points of Armour Class (armour such as studded leather that mostly made of non-metal materials take half damage from this spell). If used against a shield, weapon or metallic creature, the spell deals 1d6 points of damage per 2 caster levels, bypassing the target’s hardness (or damage reduction in the case of a creature).
Touching an unwilling creature or an item held by an unwilling creature requires a melee touch attack and provokes an attack of opportunity from the defender. You may ready an action to touch a creature, its armour, its shield or its weapon when it attempts to strike you; this does not provoke an attack of opportunity (you are using the creature’s movement to come into contact with it).
Arcane Material Component: A piece of wire, bent approximately into the desired shape and touched to the metal while the verbal component is uttered.
