A curved, 3-foot-long blade of sand springs forth from your hand, screaming and churning like a caged sandstorm.

Attacks with a scimitar of sand are melee touch attacks. The blade deals 1d6 points of damage, +1 point per two caster levels (maximum +10). The blade is not solid, so your Strength modifier does not apply to the damage. You can use a scimitar of sand without penalty even if you lack proficiency with a normal scimitar.

In addition to being dealt damage, a creature struck by your weapon must succeed on a Fortitude save or become dehydrated.

Arcane Material Component: A pinch of sand, salt, and iron filings.
