Lightning Spear (3.5e Spell)

''You aim your hand off into the distance, and a spear of lightning shoots from it striking those in your path. You may need a comb for the static in your hair afterwards.''

A lightning spear extends 40' outward from hand, striking all creatures in its reach. Any creature in the area takes 4d4 points of electricity damage. This damage is increased by 1d4 per two levels over first, to a maximum of 8d4 at 9th level. If they succeed on a reflex saving throw they only suffer half damage.

Objects in range may be specifically targeted at the caster's discretion; they are not subject to this damage otherwise. Attended objects pass or fail their save with their owner.
