Pattern
Description
The Master Illusionist Richter was a formidable wizard with possibly unmatched mastery of Pattern magics. Sadly he and most of his possessions (including spell books) were forever destroyed by the Sphere of Annihilation employed to kill him by unknown enemies. Only a few base spells survived in the tomes of former students.

This spell blinds practically everyone within a 40 foot stream with a magical burst of eye-twisting patterns (mostly stripes and plaids).
