Looking for an AoE (Force) spell

[HeapThaumaturgist]

I'm putting together a Force specialist Sorcerer and I'd like to find him a Force-descriptor AoE type spell. Even if the dice are small, it would be a little more fitting to the theme to have a Force AoE instead of, say, Fireball.

Blade barrier, but that doesn't help your sorcerer.

Maybe scrolls of it with a high UMD?

Look in Penumbra's Love and War.

There's a nonlethal AOE force spell in there called Path of Valor. And...that's all I can really think of at the moment.

Was there one in that Dragon article with all the force spells? I'm not at home so I can't look it up, but maybe I'll check it when I get in.

I also don't have Spell Compendium with me ATM, but from the WotC Spell Index, there's a spell called Vortex of Teeth that is listed as an Area effect spell.

I just read Vortex of Teeth in the Spell Compendium. It is a 4th level Wiz/Sorc/Druid spell, and it is BADASS. It creates, at Medium range, a 40' radius, 20' tall cylinder or translucent piranhas made of a mixture of 1 part magical force and 2 parts voracious, flesh-consuming hunger. In the center is a convenient, 5'x5' safe spot for something you don't want eaten to stand in. It also has the potentially invaluable ability to affect incorporeal creatures (since it's a Force spell). Unfortunately, despite being a very, very cool spell, it only deals 3d8 damage. Fortunately, it deals damage every round for 1 round/level, unless dispelled.

Take a look at Manyjaws from the Spell Compendium. It's not exactly area-effect, but it can affect multiple targets and is highly effective.

 

[Machiavelli]

Manyjaws seems fun. I wonder if there are any AoE force spells that don't actually bite the target?

Based on this thread, and the other thread regarding this character, does anyone have a list of force spells that are chainable? I'm just curious.

N.B., because it's a common error: Rays aren't chainable.

Sharn: City of Towers has shockwave; 3rd-level, close range, 20' radius, 1d4 nonlethal force damage/level (max 10d4), dazes for 1 round, Fort for 1/2 damage and negate daze.
