Range: 10 yds/level
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 2
Area of Effect: 20 ft. cube
Saving Throw: Special

This spell creates a cloud of glittering golden particles within the area of effect. Those in the area must roll a successful saving throw vs. spell or be blinded (-4 penalties to attack rolls, saving throws, and Armor Class) for 1d4+1 rounds. In addition, all within the area are covered by the dust, which cannot be removed and continues to sparkle until it fades. Note that this reveals invisible creatures. The dust fades in 1d4 rounds plus one round per caster level. Thus, a glitter dust spell cast by a 3rd level wizard lasts for 4 to 7 rounds. The material component is ground mica.
