DESCRIPTION

A brilliant mote of magic streaks toward your foe and explodes.

The target is blinded for 1d4 rounds and takes 1d6 points of damage per caster level (maximum 15d6). A successful Reflex save negates the blindness and reduces the damage by half. The explosion clearly outlines the target and radiates light as if it were a sunrod*, negating any concealment for the target for 1 round. The target must also make a successful Will save or become dazed for 1 round. On its next turn, it must make another or be dazed again for 1 round. The target must continue making Will saves each round until one of them is successful.

*A sunrod sheds normal light in a 30-foot radius and increases the light level by one step for an additional 30 feet beyond that area (darkness becomes dim light and dim light becomes normal light).
