Yet the spell also clearly states that it blocks line of effect, which should grant complete protection from this type of spell.</li> </ul>Wings of Flurry: This one is simple: a 4th level AoO spell which deals 1d6/level force damage in a 30' burst, Reflex save for half, dazes creatures for 1 round if they fail the save.  That alone is pretty strong (few things being immune to daze), but there's also no cap to the damage dice!This is definitely a really good direct damage spell, although the range of 30' helps to balance it.  But I'm wondering how much that limits it in practice, and whether it's overpowered or not.</blockquote>
