This spell creates a very bright flashing jolt of sheet lightning within the area of effect. All those in the area receive 4d4 electrical damage with no saving throw. In addition, those within must save versus petrification to avoid being blinded for 1d3 rounds and must save versus breath weapon to avoid being stunned for 1d3 rounds. Those carrying large, mostly metallic weapons (for example, swords or battle axes) or wearing partial metal armour (studded chain) save at -2 versus the stunning and suffer +1 per die of damage. Those in full metal armour (splint mail or better) save at -4 versus the stunning and suffer double damage. The material component is a bit of fur and a sheet of fine crystal worth at least 50 gp.
