Water Blast (Wizard Spell)

A small, stoppered bottle (or vial) of water be­comes an impressive weapon when this spell is cast. The wizard simply opens the bottle and aims. The water jets from the mouth, seeking out its target (one individual) much as would a magic missile.
The water blast always strikes the target's face if possible. Damage is 2d6. If the face is struck, the target also must make a saving throw vs. spell or be blinded (as the 2nd-level wizard spell) for 1d6 rounds. Sightless creatures are unaffected by the blinding attack.
The water in the bottle determines what kind of water makes up the blast-fresh, salt, muddy, or holy, for example. Against undead creatures, holy water inflicts additional damage-twice what a normal vial would cause (at least 4d6), in addition to blinding. If the bottle contains other liquids-for example, acid or poison-the spell won't work.
Notes: Common for spellcasters from an Arabian setting; otherwise, very rare.
