With a movement of 60 ft. for the spell, you could sweep it over the entire enemy party and deal 2d10 (save for half) damage to everything out there. The fact that the damage happens "on a turn" means that wherever the beam stops, that creature needs to save AGAIN or take damage.The damage level itself isn't crazy high, but it could conceivably wipe out a whole army of low-level biters without much of a problem. But it is basically a beam of death from the sky that you can harass an entire enemy party with, round after round.Possibly, this is why it is Concentration -- if the enemies want you to stop that, they just need to figure out how to punch you in the face hard enough.</blockquote>
