Aetherion Burst (3.5e Spell)

A cone of dazzling aetherion energy bursts from your fingertips. Any creature in the area of the spell takes 1d4 points of typeless damage per caster level (maximum 10d4; Fortitude half) plus 1d4 points of ability damage to all its mental ability scores (Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma; Will half).

Aetherion deals half again as much damage (including ability damage) to creatures whose body and soul are one and the same, such as elementals and non-native outsiders. Aetherion harmlessly passes through objects and constructs.

Aetherion ignores line of effect, passing through objects and walls, but is stopped by a wall of force or similar effect. It affects ethereal objects and creatures.
