This clear glass rod forces sand, dust, ash, grit, and similar loose soils away in a 10-foot-radius sphere. This ability functions on command. The user can travel through sand and loose soil as the rod pushes the material away. Breathing is not a problem as long as the surrounding area is not poisonous or a vacuum. It cannot keep duststorms at bay, but it does protect against any of the effects of the suspended grit in the storm (such as nonlethal damage and potential suffocation).
Prerequisites: Craft Rod, wind wall.
Cost to Create: 30,000 gp, 2,400 XP, 60 days.
