The spell will allow the caster to turn a targeted weapon either in an opponent, on the ground, or on their person, into rubber. The spell does cause offence, and will cause the owner of a targeted weapon to attack the caster, if the owner isn't the wizard of course.

If successful, the weapon (now rubber) will become a weapon causing blunt damage, if not already of course, causing it to do less damage and become harder to use (more misses). The duration of the spell increases with the skill of the caster, but is reasonable period, of up to 10 to 15 minutes for skilled wizards.

Accordingly, this spell can be very useful if used properly. Depending on the particular weapons, the spell can turn a very dangerous opponent into an easy one. Certainly the main effect is for the rubber weapon to be considerably poorer at knocking down a floating shield, and also reduce the effectiveness against an impact shield. On the other side of the balance, the rubbery weapons will of course ignore your troll skin, however, with the reduced damage the trade-off appears worth it.
