Thread Title : missing a spell

I have some trouble finding a 2nd edition priest spell named animate weapon. It should be a first-level spell, however I have been unable to find a spell description. 
The specialty priests of Moradin (Sonnlinor) should be able to cast this spell, at least that is what my copy of demihuman deities states...

Would anyone happen to knopw where i can find the spell description?

It is probably Forgotten Realms specific, or it was intended to be a new spell and for whatever reason, got cut from the book at the last minute.

Either way, it's probably a variant of the Dancing Swords spell (I think that's the name) used by wizards to cause swords to fly toward an emeny & attack as though they were being wielded by an individual.

It's in the Priest's Spell Compendium, volume one. It is a spell granted by Moradin to his clergy.

Description:

This spell enables the priest to animate one weapon to fight for him, much like a sword of dancing. If the priest is of 2nd level or less, the only type of weapon this spell can animate is a warhammer. Once the spell is cast, the weapon hovers a few feet in front of the priest and a few feet above the ground. It attacks as if wielded by the priest. but only once per round, and it cannot parry attacks against the priest. The weapon is effectively Armor Class 0. If more than 4 points of damage. plus 1 point of damage per level of the priest, are inflicted upon it in one round, the animated weapon drops to the ground, undamaged, and the spell immediately ends.

While this spell is in effect, it is possible for the priest to cast other spells or perform any other action except attack with a melee weapon. The latter interferes with the animated weapon's ability to fight, ending the spell immediately. The material component of this spell is the priest's holy symbol.

Notes: Granted by the dwarven god, Moradin.
