Description: You cast this spell as you strike a creature with a melee weapon, unarmed strike, or natural attack to unleash a concussive blast of force. You deal normal weapon damage from the blow, in addition to a burst of force damage that pushes your target backward. If your attack is successful, your target must make a strength saving throw. On failure, they take an additional 8d4 points of force damage and are propelled backward 10 feet. A successful save halves the damage and negates the knock-back effect.
