Sunbeam
The caster summons a globe of divine radiance to blind and burn those within the area of effect. Undead take 1d6 points of divine damage per caster level (up to 20d6) + 1d6 per 2 caster levels after caster level 20 (30d6 at caster level 40). All other monster types take half of the dice. Creatures that fail a Fortitude save are blinded for 2 rounds; a successful save halves the damage and voids the blindness.

How it works
- Above caster level 20 you get +1 damage die per 2 caster levels: 20 dice at 20, 25 at 30, 30 at 40.
- Undead take all of those dice. Other creatures take half, rounded down.
- It does not need line of sight: it hits every creature inside the globe.
