Help me name my new spell!

Hi Enworld!

My dm has approved a custom spell for my first level blue goblin wizard, and it's going to be a spell of his own creation. Trouble is, I can't really settle on an appropriate name. He'll be using this spell a lot (he has spell thematics from FRPG and this is his the spell chosen to receive the +1 caster level for 1st level). Some background that might help you...

>he's a pacifist for the most part with an affinity for birds (spent a lot of time as a scribe in a city wizard's library tower and birds were really all that kept him company) so he'll be using this spell in place of most if not all other evocation attack spells
>spell theme is blue, purple, and black swirls that vaguely resemble ravens feathers that swirl around the ball and trail behind it (this spell in particular will cause a poof of feathers like a bird hitting the grill of a truck when it hits the target) :)
>he has a raven familiar named Simone (get it?)

Some names I've come up with so far that aren't that great are "Blue Ball" (yeah, bad I know!) and "Featherball."

Finally, here's the spell:

[INSERT NAME HERE]
Evocation [Force]
Level: Sor/Wiz 1
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)

Effect: One ball of force +1 ball/2 levels
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

An ball of force that vaguely resembles a 2 inch wide ball of swirling raven feathers shoots from your palm at its target, dealing 1d6 points of nonlethal damage. You must succeed on a ranged touch attack to hit your target.

For every two caster levels beyond first, your blob deals an additional 1d6 points of nonlethal damage; 2d6 at 3rd level, 3d6 at 5th level, 4d8 at 7th level, 5d6 at 9th level, and 6d6 at 11th level or higher.

Material Component: A feather from a raven.


Thanks in advance for your help!

Am I reading it correctly that the number of balls and the damage goes up? So at 11th level he'd be shooting 6 balls each doing 6d6?

"Ravenbite"
"Pintauro's Punishing Flock"
 

OU*CH!!!

Didn't notice that there!! Might want to make it a higher level. What would be recommended? Most 3rd level spells cap at 60 hp of total damage.

This thing will do a max of 216 if you target the same creature!! (Can we say Meteor Swarm)
 

But it will be nonlethal damage..

I find it weird that its a force effect that deals non-lethal damage. How does it affect uncorporeal undead? it doesn't, i suppose?

Also, since the wizard has the Spell Thematics feat, the spell doesn't need to have a visual effect, since the feat will take care of that.

My 2¢
