Wind Blast is a monster-only spell which projects a massive gust of wind at the player and all their allies, shoving them away from the caster. This inflicts no damage, but can make maneuvering around a battle or standing your ground in a safe choke point extremely difficult. It cannot force its victim to enter deep water or lava.

The following enemies cast Wind Blast:

• Q Sojobo
• L Stoker
• k Wind drake
