Warm bronze energy veins out from my fingertips, landing upon the broken object like a blanket of caramel strings. The tendrils fit and fuse the broken pieces of the item together, making it whole again in a matter of seconds.

Effect
The spell could repair up to 1 ft (30.5 cm) of damage in an object, leaving no trace of the break or tear. It could also repair spelljammer hulls. Although the spell could repair magic items and constructs, it was not capable of restoring magic to them.
The divine version of mending could repair one object of about 1‑cubic-foot (0.028‑cubic-meter) in volume (bigger objects were possible for more experienced casters). Metal objects, like a ring or a dagger, could be fixed if they had only one break. Objects with multiple cuts, breaks, or pieces could only be repaired if they were made of lesser materials such as wood or ceramic. Repairs were permanent and "good as new", and could not be dispelled after ten minutes had past. Like the arcane version, this spell could not repair magic items.
