Field of Blades (3.5e Spell)

This spell summons large clusters of masterfully crafted swords to rain down from the sky in the affected area, skewering those unfortunate enough to be in their path. These falling blades deal 1d8 points of damage per caster level (half of this damage is piercing and half is slashing) and allow a Reflex save for half damage.

After this initial storm of blades, the caster must choose whether to have the weapons remain or explode.


 * Remain: The summoned blades can be used as longswords appropriate for Medium-size creatures. All blades are treated as having a flat enhancement bonus equal to one third the caster's level when used in combat in this fashion, and they continue to exist for 1 round per caster level.


 * Explode: The weapons burst at the beginning of the caster‘s next turn, dealing another 1d8 damage per caster level and blinding creatures within the area of effect for one round per level of the caster. Affected creatures can make another Reflex save to halve this damage and negate being blinded.
