When a Power Word: Blind spell is cast, one or more creatures within the area of effect become sightless. The effect of this powerful spell spreads outward from the exact location of the caster's choosing, affecting all within a 20-foot radius. Creatures with a current hit point total over 100 hit points are not affected and do not count against the number of creatures affected. The spell affects up to 100 hit points of creatures, but the duration depends upon how many hit points are affected. If 50 or fewer hit points are affected, the blindness is permanent until cured. If 51 to 100 hit points are affected, the blindness lasts for 1d4 + 1 turns, if 101 to 200 hit points of creatures are affected, the spell duration is but 1d4 + 1 rounds. An individual creature cannot be partially affected; if all of its current hit points are affected, it is blinded, otherwise, it is not. Blindness can be removed by a Cure blindness and Deafness or magic similar to a Dispel Magic spell. All of the effects of blindness apply to the victims such as a penalty to hit as well as visual range.
