Fortify metal or stone alters the internal structure of stone or metal in order to strengthen it. Any single object of up to 10 feet on a side (weapons, armor, chests, sarcophagi, doors, and so on) has its hardness and hit points doubled, and has its break DC increased by 10.
If cast on weapons, fortify metal or stone bestows an enhanceÂment bonus of +1 on damage rolls. Armor or shields affected by this spell grant their wearer damage reduction 1/magic. Suits of armor are considered single objects for the purÂpose of being affected by this spell, but armor and shields must be targeted with separate castings.
