Creatures within range take 2d6 bludgeoning damage, with a basic Reflex save; on a failed save, they also fall Prone. The affected area becomes difficult terrain, but you can move through the difficult terrain normally.
Heightened (+1) The damage increases by 1d6.

Focus spells are a special type of spell attained directly from a branch of study, from a deity, or from another specific source. You can learn focus spells only through special class features or feats, rather than choosing them from a spell list. Furthermore, you cast focus spells using a special pool of Focus Points—you can't prepare a focus spell in a spell slot or use your spell slots to cast focus spells; similarly, you can't spend your Focus Points to cast spells that aren't focus spells.
