[New Spell] Lightning Burst

Lightning Burst

The ancient dwarven temple on the mountainside was suddenly assaulted by a multitude of thunderbolts and near deafening thunder.

‘Run, the gods are unhappy!’ Krozik the dwarf shouted.

Not needing to be told twice Inglox, another dwarf, maybe a little less surly than Krozik, dropped the small harp he was holding and began running in circles seeking cover.

Deep laughter followed the lightning as a figure stepped from the shadows, revealing himself to be…human.

Krozik stopped in his tracks and shook his fist at the hooded man.

‘Your faces! Just like that hobgoblin warband I saw three days ago,’ Zibni the illusionist said.

‘Where were they headed?’ Inglox asked of the sometimes ally of the dwarves.

‘Oh, yeah. This way, we had better prepare for them,’ the illusionist replied as the dwarves scowled.

Lightning Burst (Illusionist)

Level 3

Range: 45’+5’/level.

Duration: Instantaneous.

This odd cosmetic spell allows the caster to produce an impressive series of several bursts of lightning bolts with accompanying thunder. While the lightning does no real damage it does cause Awe in all creatures under 5HD who must make a Save vs Spells with a -1 modifier or flee the area looking for cover. Often used by flasy deities or sly spellcastes wanting to make an impressive entrance.
