Swirling Scythes

This spell create a whirling horizontal circle of invisible scythes, each created from a field of force, centered on the spellcaster. One scythe is created for each level of the caster. Casters of swirling scythes mentally specify the height at which all of the scythes spin, and they can change that level each round a long as it is not lower than their feet or higher than their heads. Swirling scythes pass through rock and meta l as if those materials did not exist. Only living organic material is affected by this spell. This spell ends immediately when the duration expires or the caster cease to devote full concentration to the spell. Caster may move at half their normal movement rate and maintain concentration (though they may not cake other action s); the swirling scythes move with the caster.

Although this spell was created to reap the fields of Mulhorand, it is an extremely deadly combat spell as well. Any creature caught within the area of effect suffers 2 points of damage per round per swirling scythe. A successful saving throw vs. spell halve this damage.

The material component for this spell is a miniature silver or gold scythes and the priest's holy symbol.
