Moonbeam

School evocation (light);  Level druid/hunter 2, shaman 2

Casting Time 1 standard action

Components: V, S, DF

Range 30 ft.

Area cone-shaped emanation

Duration 1 minute/level (D)

Saving Throw none or Will negates; see text; Spell Resistance no

As you complete this spell, a swath of pale moonlight springs from your hand. On your turn each round, you can change the direction of the cone of light. The cone emanates dim light in its area of effect. 

Light from a moonbeam spell does not adversely affect creatures that are sensitive to light, but lycanthropes in humanoid form caught in the cone must make a Will save to avoid involuntarily assuming their animal forms. A lycanthrope in animal form can change out of it on the creature's next turn (spending a round in animal form). However, if it is still in the area of the spell, it must succeed on a Will save to do so. Once a lycanthrope successfully saves against moonbeam, it is not affected by any more of your moonbeam spells for 24 hours.

Moonbeam penetrates any darkness spell of equal or lower level, but does not counter or dispel it. Darkness spells of higher level block a moonbeam.
