Description

You tear a thin fissure in reality, releasing a blaze of caustic energy. The fissure must be oriented on a horizontal surface that can fit its length, which depends on the level of the spell; the fissure runs through the center of the affected squares. The height of the blaze of caustic energy released from the fissure and the damage it deals to creatures who pass through it or end their turn in one of the fissure’s squares(no save) also depend on the level of the spell.
If you evoke the fissure so that it appears where creatures are, each creature takes damage as if passing through the blaze and must immediately attempt a Reflex saving throw. On a failure, the creature falls prone.
