Effect	This spell is a more concentrated and powerful form of Gust of Wind that sacrifices area for effectiveness against a single target. This spell creates an instant severe blast of air ( 100+ mph ) that originates from you striking one target within range. Blast of wind can be utilized to do anything that a sudden blast of wind would be expected to do. For example, the force of the gust automatically extinguishes candles, torches, and similar unprotected flames in the area. It causes protected flames, such as those of lanterns, to dance wildly and has a 50% chance to extinguish those lights. It can also be used to create a stinging spray of sand or dust, fan a large fire, overturn delicate awnings or hangings, heel over a small boat, and blow gases or vapors to the edge of its range, etc. Additionally, the caster can instead choose increase or decrease the speed of existing wind by 10mph per rank with a maximum speed of 80mph OR shift the angle of the wind's direction by up to 45 degrees. Speeds higher than 80mph are not affected.
