Dazzle

Dazzle was an evocation spell that created a blinding burst of light to appear in front of the caster. It was a common spell among the Red Wizards of Thay but rare outside of Thay.

Effects
Any creature caught within the 12' (3.7 m) area of effect created by this spell was partially blinded for a matter of moments. As a result, they were less capable in combat and had difficulty performing skilled tasks. Those who could shake off the spell's effects overcame the blindness much more rapidly.
