By sweeping your arms from above your head and forming a circle that meets below your waist, you create a shimmering shield-like mass of dull golden light. As soon as your hands touch the shield speeds towards a target 5-ft.-square area that you designate, passing through intervening material and striking with a powerful force.
Make a touch attack roll against the designated target 5-ft.-square. The golden ball is incorporeal as it speeds towards the target square and becomes corporeal the instant it enters the targeted area. Incorporeal and ethereal creatures in the path of the golden ball suffer its full effect and end the spell before it reaches its target. Creatures within the targeted area of effect are struck for 1d10 damage per two caster levels (maximum 10d10). Creatures of medium size or smaller are knocked prone. A successful Reflex save halves the damage and prevents struck creatures from being knocked prone.
