At the beginning of each round after the spell is cast, the d6 is rolled

of the fall, creatures suffer 1d6 points of damage for every ten feet they
fall; if there is a significant amount of loose debris, stones, or equipment
in the area as well, creatures must roll a saving throw versus wands or
suffer double damage as they strike against these objects. If a creature falls

area of effect in an upwardly direction, local gravity reasserts itself and
