All creatures within the area must succeed at a DC X Reflex save or be dazzled for Y rounds, those that succeed are dazzled for 1 round. The save is Constitution-based and includes a +Z racial bonus. I think it needs a racial bonus and an automatic minimum of 1 round otherwise the effect will be even more negligible than the original.As for the dust form, I was thinking of something like this (the Greater Dust Spider would have a far more effective dust form). I thought about it taking damage if its "blown away" while in dust form, but I felt that would be more appropriate for the Greater Dust Spider. Dust Form (Ex): A lesser dust spider can collapse into a pile of dust as a move action. It can coalesce from a dust pile back into a spider with another move action. As a dust pile, the spider can sense its surroundings normally and gains Damage Reduction 10/-, but it can not move, attack or take any action (including spellcasting) which has a verbal, somatic or material component. It takes a DC Y Spot check to distinguish a lesser dust spider in dust form from an ordinary pile of dust. If a lesser dust spider is struck by a moderate wind (windspeed 11 mph or higher) while in dust form it is forced to resume its normal spider form, and must make a Fortitude save (DC equals 10 or DC of the wind effect, whichever is higher) or be knocked prone and stunned for 1 round.</blockquote>
