Description
You summon a swirling disc of thick mud, acting as difficult terrain and pushing all creatures in the area 10 ft. in a direction of your choice (Fortitude negates) but not out of the disc’s current area. You may have the disc follow the ground contour or have it float in an open medium (like air or water). It spreads around walls and barriers. Each time you concentrate on this spell (move action), you may increase the disc’s radius by 5 ft., move it by 20 ft., then push all creatures in the new area 10 ft. in a direction of your choice (Fortitude negates). The maximum radius is 5 ft. per 2 caster levels, with a total maximum of 30 ft. radius at 4 rounds of concentration.
Right before the spell ends, the disc collapses violently, dealing bludgeoning damage equal to 2d8 per 5-ft of radius. Fortitude halves. Max 12d8 at 4 turns. This occurs even if you are forced to drop concentration or fall unconscious, but not if the spell is dispelled, supressed, or if you fail to concentrate during the initial casting.
