The caster creates a cone of clashing, swirling colors.

The spell caster creates a wedge-shaped plane of discordant colors springing from their open hand that affects 1d6 creatures in the area.

Only creatures above 5 HD are allowed a saving throw.

Effects are as follows:

• • Creature affected has hit dice that are equal to or less than the caster level = unconscious (2d4 rounds)

  • Creature affected has hit dice that are 1 to 2 greater than the caster level = blinded (1d4 rounds) and stunned (1 round)

  • Creature affected has hit dice that are 3+ greater than the caster level = stunned (1 round)

Area of Effect

The wedge is 20-ft. wide at the end and 20-ft. long. It's vertex is 5-ft. wide at the spell caster's hand. The plane is shifting, approximately 2-ft. to 3-ft thick.

Limitations

• • If there are more than the number of affected creatures in the area, those affected will be selected randomly.

  • If cast in an area with very tall creatures and very small creatures, the caster must choose which group to affect (the area is a flat-ish plane). Typically, the larger creatures must be double the height of the smaller (and have ocular organs toward the top of their height). e.g. A hill giant can be targeted separately from humans in melee with it. However, a manticore cannot.

  • A caster much smaller than the target must target the creature's head. This may limit the number of creatures that can be affected.

  • Creatures without sight organs or the ability to see color are not affected. Creatures immune to confusion effects are not affected.
