Cerulean Hail

When this spell is cast, a deep blue-black cloud forms over the targeted area and spits out blue hailstones that fall with a piercing scream. The hailstones rain 3d8 points of damage to any creature within the area of effect. Additionally, the sudden appearance of the threatening cloud coupled with the screams of the falling hailstones is very unnerving to Athasians, who see severe storms only about once a year. Those in the area who are less than 6th level must make a successful saving throw vs. paralyzation or flee in panic for 1d4 rounds.

There is a 50% chance that those panicked by the storm will drop held equipment as they flee. The hailstones dissipate after causing their initial damage, as the hot, dry climate melts them on impact.

The material components for the spell are a drop of water and a pinch of dust. Cerulean wizards may use their blue glass lens in lieu of other components.
