DESCRIPTION
This spell functions like Aero, except it deals 7d6 points of wind damage + your casting modifier (Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma) + 1 point per caster level (maximum +20) and inflicts the Squalled status effect for 1d10 rounds. A successful Reflex save prevents the status effect from taking effect.
Squalled: Hurricanic winds circle around the creature, pushing back the creature and making it difficult to hear even themselves as their voice is carried into the squall. Squalled creatures suffer from 10% spell failure for spells with somatic and/or vocal components, automatically fail any Perception checks based on sound, and suffer from a cumulative -1 penalty to attacks made within a round (1st attack is -1, 2nd attack is -2 etc). Earth spells and effects remove this status effect.
