Evocation [force]

• • Level Cleric 6

  • Components V, S

  • Casting Time 9 segments

  • Range 30-ft.

  • Area of Effect A flat plane up to 60-ft. by 60-ft.

  • Duration 3 rounds per caster level

  • Save None or Dexterity vs. Spell (save avoids); see description

This spell creates a dangerous wall of whirling blades.

• The "wall" area must be straight with no bends. However, it can be aligned on any axis, vertical or horizontal (or any diagonal).

• The wall does not need an anchor point and can be cast in the air.

• Objects or terrain features in the area are not harmed.

• Creatures in the area of effect when the spell is first cast must make a Dexterity save vs. Spell or take 8d8 slashing damage (save avoids for 1 round). After 1 full round (ie. the round after casting), creatures remaining in the area of effect will take the listed damage.

• Once the barrier is in place, any creature that passes through any part of the area of effect will take 8d8 slashing damage (no save).

• The blades are made from magical force and generally ignore damage resistance.

• The spell's range sets the point of origin which must be the center of the area of effect (making certain positionings of the barrier problematic for the caster).

• Creatures damaged by the barrier are not slowed (in terms of their ability to move) in any way.
