==Color Spray==
Introduced in [[Dragon Magazine]] #12 as a new spell exclusively for the original [[Illusionist]] variant class of the [[Wizard|Magic User]], Color Spray has s transcended its humble beginnings to become a mainstay in every [[Player's Handbook]] since. The spell creates a 15ft conical burst of brilliant colored light that overwhelms the minds of weaker creatures; this doesn't cause physical damage, but inflicts different kinds of status impairments; traditionally, it knocks foes unconscious, but some editions tweak the effect - the 5e version simply blinds whatever it hits, for example. It's traditionally a great way to take down swathes of low-level mook monsters, such as [[goblin]]s or [[kobold]]s, as they tend to be particularly vulnerable to its mechanics and the impairment it induces leaves them as easily cleaned up by the party's [[fighter]].
