Sirocco

''You conjure forth a terrible sandstorm, the dreaded sirocco. An uncontrollable force which sweeps up anything on the ground not tied down, and tearing at the flesh with stinging sand and chips of stone.''

You create a raging storm over a vast area. To cast this spell, you must be able to see the sky, and you must be in an area covered with sand or loose stone. Calling up a sirocco is perilous, since you cannot control it, and you are as affected by the storm as anyone else.

Once formed, the sirocco sweeps along the ground, whipping up small objects, dust, and sand, and carrying them along with terrific speed. Each round of exposure to the storm inflicts 2d8 points of piercing and bludgeoning damage to all creatures and objects in the area. Creatures with total cover take no damage. In addition, winds of windstorm force buffet the area.
