Nystul's Blazing Beam

This spell draws a parcel of energy from the Positive Material Plane to the caster's hand, to be fired in a ray one foot wide to a distance of 30 feet plus 10 feet per level of the caster. It affects only a single creature. Except for undead, a creature struck by the beam receives a saving throw vs. spell. Success means the creature struck a glancing shot and is dazed for 1d4 rounds, suffering a -2 penalty on hit rolls and a +2 penalty to Armor Class. Failure means the creature is struck full in the face and blinded for 2d4 rounds, suffering a -4 penalty to attack rolls and AC.

An undead creature is automatically struck by the beam, suffers 4d6 points of damage, but is not dazed or blinded.

Notes: Uncommon or rare spell (WoG).
