This spell temporarily endows a warrior with a surge of rage and energy rivaling that of a berserker. Magical fear will not affect an enraged warrior. The warrior also receives a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls, and gains an extra attack every other melee round, so an attack routine of 3/2 attacks becomes 2/1. The fighter also gains a temporary bonus of 4d4 hit points, from which any damage is subtracted before the warrior's permanent hit point total is reduced. The spell does carry a risk, however, because the berserker rage is maintained throughout the duration of the spell. If all of a warrior's opponents are defeated before the spell expires, then the berserk warrior will turn on the nearest living creature, and con­tinue attacking without regard for friend or foe until the spell expires. A dispel magic spell will immediately return a berserk warrior to his or her normal state.

The material component is a bit of fur from a wolverine or a grizzly bear.

Notes: Uncommon or rare spell (WoG).
