The caster gathers their power into a starstone and begins to glow ever brighter until they match the power of the sun.

The caster shines with a light that illuminates the area as though it was bright daylight. Undead creatures negatively affected by daylight take 2d10 damage per caster level (no save) and are treated as though they were in daylight.

Each round the caster may as a swift action direct a focused beam of light at a target within the emanation. The light beam deals the target 2d6 light damage per caster level. The target may make a Reflex save for half damage.

A creature looking directly at the caster or that is adjacent to the caster is blinded for 1d4 rounds, or as long as it remains adjacent plus an additional 1d4 rounds thereafter. A non-adjacent creature may avert its eyes (as avoiding a gaze attack).

Nova counters or dispels any darkness spell.

Focus: A Starstone worth at least 1,000 gp.
