Pages From the Mages Version

The sunburst spell causes a globe of radiance to explode silently from the caster's form, reaching its limit of 10 feet per level of the caster instantaneously. The sunburst has the following effects: * All creatures looking at the caster and within this area of effect must successfully save vs. spell or be blinded for 1d3 rounds. * All creatures looking at the caster, and within the area of effect who use infravision must successfully save vs. spell or be blinded for 2d4 rounds. * All creatures within the area of effect to whom sunlight is harmful must make a saving throw vs. spell. If they make their saving throw, they are blinded for 2d6 rounds—otherwise they are blinded for 1d100 days. * All undead within the radius, including vampires, suffer 8d6 points of damage. They take half that damage if they make a successful saving throw vs. spell. * All fungoid life within the radius takes 8d6 points of damage from the light with no saving throw.

The material components of this spell are a piece of sunstone and a naked flame.
