Dazzling Spray is a level 3 Conjurations/Hexes spell that fires a spray of energy at up to 3 targets in the same general direction. Along with dealing light physical damage, it can also blind natural, demonic, and holy monsters. The success rate of the blinding effect is based on the monster's hit dice, ignoring both magic resistance and your spell power, making it useful even in the late game.
Bear in mind that although blindness is very effective against beasts and animals, it is less effective against intelligent opponents. In all cases, however, it set the opponent up for stabbing opportunities.
Chance of Blindness: If (85 - 3 × HD) > 1d100
