Description

You briefly transform your weapon or fist into another material and strike with it, making a melee weapon attack against a target within your reach.

You use your spellcasting ability for your attack and damage rolls, and your melee weapon attack counts as if it were made with a different material for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage: either bone, bronze, cold iron, steel, stone, or wood.
