Flash

With the Flash spell, the mage on the Serpent Isle has a distraction tool at hand.

Spell Description
This spell, despite seeming to be an attack spell, is actually defensive in nature. Casting Flash results in a short, bright light which blinds all the enemies nearby. While they are disoriented, this distraction can be used to either retreat undisturbed, or attack the temporarily helpless foes. Either way, it is useful.
