How it works

It throws one ball per caster level up to 15, then one more every five levels: 20 at level 40.
Each ball does that same number of six-sided dice, so 20d6 at level 40, and a Reflex save halves it.
No target is ever hit by more than one ball, and the caster is never caught by it.
The balls fall on hostile creatures within 8.33 metres that the caster can see.
