The Searing Light spell is a CS-based mass attack spell against those not in the caster's group. The caster summons a ball of light that explodes, blinding its targets and causing moderate plasma damage.

The blinding effect causes the target to lose any prepared spells, as well as find it difficult to cast any newly prepared spell. It is easier to evade, block and parry the attacks of a blinded target and to avoid maneuvers that they attempt.

Duration: 10 seconds + 1 second per 5 warding margin; capped at 20 seconds

Messaging

Two open hands:

You hold your two open hands before you, fingers splayed, as a brilliant white ball of light forms between them. When the ball glows so brightly that it begins to singe your skin, you unleash the radiance before you and it instantaneously spreads throughout the entire area!

Runestaff:

A brilliant white ball of light forms just above the top of your crimson orase runestaff. It quickly grows in size until you lightly jerk your runestaff, causing the radiance to instantaneously spread throughout the entire area!

The radiant burst of light engulfs a crested basilisk!

   Fiery blast of plasma blows the crested basilisk's leg into a bloody spray!
   The crested basilisk screams loudly as it drops to the ground in agony and favors its mangled left hind leg.

   Flash burns to eye momentarily blind the crested basilisk.

The radiant burst of light engulfs a black centaur ranger!
