The sunstrike spell is one of the Sun Mages' most deadly attacks. It causes a fiery line of magical energy to shoot from the hand of the caster to a designated single target within visual range. This line is 1 foot wide and can go around corners, through windows and doors, over walls, and under or around any obstacles between the caster and the target.
This spell hits any one creature the wizard desires, inflicting 8d8 points of damage (save vs. spell for half). Like sunflare, normal or magical flame protection does not defend against this spell. The sunstrike causes any flammable items to burst into flame on contact (only magical items are allowed a saving throw).
This spell is a favorite among Antilan Warlocks, who channel the spell through their soulblades for an additional 1d8 of damage (9d8 total).
The mage must be standing in full sunlight to cast this spell.
Notes: Known to the Sun Mages of the Astromundi Cluster and usable only in that setting.
