Color Spray is a level 1 Arcane spell from the Alteration school, that temporarily incapacities creatures within a cone area.
Descriptions[]
“ | This spell creates a vivid, fan-shaped spray of clashing colors to spring forth from the caster's hand. From one to six creatures within the area are affected in order of increasing distance from the wizard. All creatures in the area above the level of the caster or ones that have greater than 6 Hit Dice (or are greater than 5th level) must make a saving throw vs. spells. The spell's effects depend on the caster - creatures with Hit Dice/levels less than or equal to the caster are knocked unconscious for 2-8 turns, those with Hit Dice/levels one or two greater than the wizard are blinded for 1-4 turns, and any other creatures are stunned for 1 turn. | ” |
