A sword with the RAZ spell cast upon it, having been used to split a rock.

raz is a spell in The Sorcery Spell Book requiring 1 stamina point and some Beeswax to use.

This spell makes an edged weapon razor-sharp by rubbing beeswax on it.

In the Advanced Fighting Fantasy version of The Sorcery Spell Book, the weapon adds two to all damage rolls for a number of combat rounds equal to the caster's Inner Strength, consuming the beeswax.

Use in the Sorcery! series

This spell usually doubles the damage caused by the weapon for the duration of one combat, the beeswax generally not being consumed in the process. Against the Water Serpent, it adds one to the damage caused as that creature is made of water. If used before trying to break the lock of a cage with a sword, it gives a bonus of two to the roll and the weapon suffers no penalty to future use if the lock is broken on the first attempt.
