Illuminating Blast (3.5e Spell)

''The caster tosses a marble into the air as they finish speaking a spell and it begins to levitate accumulating energy. as the small sphere glows bigger it gets brighter. When it's power is released its blast travels forward in a large wave!''

The initial ball of light is the same as a torch-light glow (easily mistaken for a Light spell), its light radius increases per round channeled.

The ball can release it's power releasing a wave of light and force damage.

Each creature in the wave is blinded for 1d4 rounds. A successful Reflex save negates the blindness and reduces the damage by half.
