Mudball

All right, my young mages this is one of the simplest earth spells you’ll learn, and it’s actually far more useful than it looks.
This spell is Mudball, and it does exactly what its name promises: you conjure a solid ball of mud and hurl it at a target. It’s effective against creatures, animals, attackers, and pursuers though I strongly recommend you do not throw it at guards or teacher, because that will never end well for you.
When the mud strikes the target’s face, it can temporarily blind them until they manage to wipe it away. Simple, effective, and excellent for buying yourself a moment to escape.
And yes I can already see some of you clever students considering pranks, “accidents,” or starting a mud war. Let me be clear: if you do it in the classroom instead of the training yard, you will become janitors for the day. And I will have the custodial staff teach you, in great detail, how to clean the place thoroughly and epically without using a single spell.

Effect

When you cast this spell, you conjure a single ball of sticky mud and launch it at an enemy's face as a ranged touch attack. If the mudball hits, the target is blinded. Each round at the beginning of its turn, a creature blinded by this spell can attempt a Reflex saving throw to shake off the mud, ending the effect. The mudball can also be wiped off by the creature affected by it or by a creature adjacent to the creature affected by it as a standard action

Gestures & Ritual

This one is easy. Focus your mana into your palm or into your focus tool as the mud begins to form. While speaking the incantation, draw your arm back as if preparing to throw a stone. Some casters add a small circular wind-up with their hand or the tip of their instrument to tighten the shape.
Then release, launching the mudball straight at your target’s face.
