When this spell is cast, a strong puff of air originates from the magic-user and moves in the direction he or she is facing.
The force of this gust of wind is sufficient to extinguish candles, torches, and similar unprotected flames. It will cause protected flames such as those of lanterns—to wildly dance and has a 5% chance per level of experience of the spell caster to extinguish even such lights. It will also fan large fires outwards 1-ft to 6-ft in the direction of the wind's movement.
It will force back small flying creatures 1" to 6" and cause man-sized ones to be held motionless if attempting to move into its force, and similarly slow large flying creatures by 50% for 1 round. It will blow over light objects.
Its path is 1" wide by 1" of length per level of experience of the magic-user casting the gust of wind spell i.e. an 8th level magic-user causes a gust of wind which travels 8".
The material component of the spell is a legume seed.
This spell is particularly useful against such spells as obscurement, stinking cloud, and cloudkill (qq.v.).
