EFFECTS

A coarse ring made from a hundred grains of sand, this ring allows the wearer to turn himself into a swirling cloud of sand with a 10-foot radius and a speed of 60 feet. This effect otherwise acts as the gaseous form spell except the wearer has no fly speed. Activating the ring is a standard action.

Anyone caught in the sand cloud’s area of effect is stung for 1d4+1 damage and must succeed on a DC 13 Fortitude save or be blinded for 1 round and dazzled for the following 2 rounds. If the save is successful, the target is dazzled for 1 round instead. As a standard action the wearer can return to his corporeal form. Each day, the ring’s magic can be used for up to 10 rounds. These rounds do not have to be used consecutively.
