Shards of heavenly light rain down from above. Evil creatures within the spell’s area that fail a Fortitude save are blinded permanently. The light shards also slice the flesh of evil creatures, dealing 1d6 points of damage per caster level (maximum 20d6). A successful Reflex save halves the damage, which is of divine origin.

Sacrifice: 1d3 points of Strength drain.
