This spell opens a small gate to the quasi-elemental plane of vacuum. Within the area of effect, all the air is suddenly eliminated. This does not last long enough to cause asyphixiation, but the resulting rushing of air into the area causes 1d6 damage per level of the caster (up to a maximum of 10d6), regardless of whether or not the victim(s) require air (even undead are affected). The rushing air also causes a massive roar, like a clap of thunder, which will deafen victims for 1d10 rounds. A saving throw is allowed; if successful, reduce damage to half, and the victim is only deafened for 1 round.
The material component for this spell is a small lodestone, encased in a legume.
