The caster create a field of floating explosive runesVariant which are detonated by proximity. Any creature who move more than 5 feet inside of the field they risk detonating a few runes, which inflict damage as an explosive runes of the same caster level, although only once per movement.

If a creature does not halve their speed (treating it as difficult terrain) while moving through the field, a successful Reflex save simply halves the damage instead of negating it. Small or smaller creatures gain a +4 bonus on their saving throws as well while large or larger creatures take a -1 penalty for each square they occupy within the field. If a creature runs or charges through the field it is not allowed a Reflex save against this spell.

As a standard action the caster may cause the runes inside the field to dance and whirl, forcing all creatures inside the field to make a Reflex save as if they triggered a rune. A successful Reflex save negates the damage.

After being cast, the runes need 1 round of warm up before activating. The runes gently move out of the way of the caster and her familiar if she moves through it, but not any other creatures.
