DESCRIPTION

Your upthrust arms cause a massive column stone to jut up from the floor with tremendous force and speed.

The column’s height can be up to 5 ft. per your level and its diameter can be up to 5 ft. per every five levels you possess.

All creatures and objects in the area of effect that fail a Reflex save are smashed against the ceiling, take 1d6 hp bludgeoning damage per caster level (maximum 10d6 hp damage) and must succeed on a second Reflex save or gain the pinned condition until they escape or the spell ends. The column’s CMD, for the purposes of escaping the pin, is equal to 16 + caster’s BAB. If the conjured column does not reach the ceiling, those who fail their save are carried aloft to the full height of the column.

Whether crushed or carried, those atop the column are subject to falling damage (1d6 hp damage/10 ft. of the column’s height) when the spell ends.

Conjured columns can be made permanent with the permanency spell for a cost of 7,500 gp and a minimum caster level of 11th.
