By means of this spell, the wizard sends out a spray of sand in a horizontal arc of 90 degrees in front of himself. This attack is resolved on the fighter's missile attack table. If successful, it will blind 1d4 individuals in the field of fire for one round. Those individuals blinded will suffer a -4 penalty to their attacks, while giving the wizard and his companions a +4 gain to their attack rolls - for the remainder of the round - or give them a 2-round head start to flee. The material component is the sand to be sprayed.
