Sandstorm

Area
Creates a Windstorm (p. 25) with the addition of flying sand! The sand is
created by the spell – it is not necessary for the area to be sandy. The
Sandstorm obscures vision (-2 per intervening yard of Sandstorm,
excluding the “eye” of the storm).

Each second, every being within the area must shut its eyes or roll vs.
HT to avoid being blinded, as per a one-point Sand Jet.

Duration: 1 minute after reaching full strength.
Base cost: 3 to cast. Half that to maintain.
Time to cast: The storm starts immediately, but the caster must con-
centrate for a number of seconds equal to the storm’s radius in yards to
bring the storm to full strength.
Prerequisites: Windstorm and Create Earth.

Item
Staff, wand, or jewelry. Usable only by mages.
Energy cost to create: 1,000.
