Glitterdust

The Glitterdust spell creates a cloud of glittering golden particles within the area of effect. Should they fail a save vs Spell, this will remove the Invisibility effect of creatures on impact, as well as blind them for 4 rounds.
==Description==
==Gameplay==
The caster directs this spell at a point designated on the area map, and then "clicking" to select the spot. 
After the spell is cast a rapidly moving projectile speeds to the point designated by the caster (up to a 20' distance), and the sparkling area of effect manifests in a 15-foot radius from the target spot.
All enemy creatures in the area of effect are exposed to the sparking particles unless a Saving throw versus Spell is made. If the save is made the conjuration has no effect on that particular creature.
If the saving throw check is failed, then the creature:
- Suffers a Blindness effect lasting 4 rounds. A text string will display "Blinded".
- If hidden, the creature is revealed (including normal and improved invisibility, and Stealth) - glitterdust "Curea" the State: Invisibility.
- The creature is also unable to attain being hidden for 4 rounds (when the glittering particles wear off). 
This spell's effects are classified as a "Conjuration" spell school, and a "Battleground" secondary type. The individual effects of glittering dust are considered magical and therefore are affected by Dispel Magic effects and Magic resistance. Additionally, the effects are assigned a 2 Power level and thus can be blocked by a Minor Globe of Invulnerability.
This spell won't remove the Sanctuary spell from a creature, but the spell's blinding and invisibility prevention duration will still be applied if the saving throw is missed.

The Wand of Glitterdust fires a slightly different version of this spell. It has a greater range, bypasses Magic Resistance, can't be dispelled, but isn't party friendly.

Glitterdust
Level: 2
School: Conjuration
Range: Medium
Duration: 4 rounds
Casting Time: 2
Area of Effect: 10’ radius
Saving Throw: Special
This spell creates a cloud of glittering golden particles within the area of effect. The sparkling dust dazzles all opponents in the area (-2 penalty to attack rolls) for 4 rounds and reveals any opponents who are invisible. Those affected must also save vs. breath to avoid becoming completely covered by the dust, which cannot be removed and continues to sparkle for 4 rounds. Those failing the save remain unable to successfully hide themselves until the dust fades.
