Sandblast

A simple spell-form, embracing the concept of a sandstorm directed from one's hands, which I can assure you, would be a most unpleasant experience for those on the other side of it.

Effect

Base Effects: Cutting and grinding the energies of Domhan in the Aether into a coarse, grainy powder, you bring your hands together, and fling them forth, manifesting the Topaz energies as a glittering blast of sand that rips, tears, and grinds at anyone caught in the area of effect. Anyone within the cone must attempt an Agility Defensive Test. Should they fail they take 2d6 piercing damage and 1d6 thunder damage. In addition they are coated in glittery sand, and cannot get it off. This sand will be visible even if a creature is currently invisible or attempts to go invisible after the fact, it must be washed off. Those whom succeed the test take half damage, but are not coated in the glittery sand.

Siegecraft: Damage against Constructs and Structures is 2d10 piercing and 1d10 thunder damage.

Side/Secondary Effects

Tier II Effects: Increase all instances of damage by 1d6 or 1d10 as appropriate.

Tier III Effects: Increase cone to 50 feet.

Manifestation

Durzi let go of his war axe, having felt it snag in the ogre's femur, knowing he had no time to wrench it free. The dwarf spun on heel, bringing his hands together even as he did so, letting the magick flow. The trio of orcs snarled and roared with fury and frustration as flakes of sand and stone blasted with force from his palms, like a miniature sandstorm, cutting and tearing at them. One of them fell, its face unrecognizable now, though the other two pushed on. Durzi's handaxe came to hand, even as he scooped up the crude shield from another dead orc. More the pity his had been knocked some distance away when the ogre had struck him. No matter, the dwarf would just have to make due.
