To cast this spell, the wizard raises both hands above his head, crossed at the wrist. He then brings them down and out in a slashing motion. As his hands part, there is a brilliant flash of light, affecting all within 20 feet and in front of the wizard.
Those affected must save versus spell. All who make their saving throw are stunned and reeling for 1 round, unable to attack, move or cast spells. They are also blinded for 1d6 rounds.
Those who fail must make a second saving throw versus spell. Those who make this saving throw are stunned for 1d6 rounds and blinded for a number of rounds equal to the caster's level. Those who fail again are stunned for a number of rounds equal to the caster's level and permanently blinded.
Any magical darkness whose area of affect intersects the thunderflash is instantly dispelled.
