Ooh, nice and icky!

I like it, it's creepy- kind of like a variant of summon swarm. Using that as a basis for comparison, I think you should add a description of how one can get rid of the flies, and probably also a maximum duration of 5 rounds. Also, I'd change the range to Short since almost all 3e spells are standardized.

Also, I'd change the range to Short since almost all 3e spells are standardized.

Actually, since it's a cone, the range just needs to be snipped right out, and the Area should be replaced with Area: 15 ft. Cone.

EDIT: I should explain this. I thought I remembered seeing a cone spell in one of the splat books or MaoF that had an Area entry like that. I could be mistaken though.
