descr: "You create an opaque wall of light in a single vibrant color. The wall is\
  \ straight and vertical, stretching 60 feet long and 30 feet high. If the wall would\
  \ pass through a creature, the spell is lost. The wall sheds bright light for 20\
  \ feet on each side, and dim light for the next 20 feet. You can ignore the wall's\
  \ effects. Roll 1d4 to determine the color of the wall. Each color has a particular\
  \ effect on items, effects, or creatures that attempt to pass through. *Chromatic\
  \ wall* can't be counteracted normally; rather, each color is automatically counteracted\
  \ when targeted by a specific spell, even if that spell's level is lower than that\
  \ of *chromatic wall*. \n\n1. **Red** The wall destroys ranged weapon ammunition\
  \ (such as arrows and crossbow bolts) that would pass through, and it deals 20 fire\
  \ damage to anyone passing through, with a basic Reflex save. *Cone of cold* can\
  \ counteract a red *chromatic wall*. \n\n2. **Orange** The wall destroys thrown\
  \ weapons that would pass through, and it deals 25 acid damage to anyone passing\
  \ through, with a basic Reflex save. *Gust of wind* can counteract an orange *chromatic\
  \ wall*. \n\n3. **Yellow** The wall stops acid, cold, electricity, fire, force,\
  \ negative, positive, and sonic effects from passing through, and it deals 30 electricity\
  \ damage to anyone passing through, with a basic Reflex save. *Disintegrate* can\
  \ counteract a yellow *chromatic wall*. \n\n4. **Green** The wall stops toxins,\
  \ gases, and breath weapons from passing through. It deals 10 poison damage to anyone\
  \ passing through and makes them enfeebled 1 for 1 minute. A basic Fortitude save\
  \ reduces the damage and negates the enfeebled condition on a success. *Passwall*\
  \ can counteract a green *chromatic wall*.  \n\n---\n**Heightened (7th)**  The spell's\
  \ duration increases to 1 hour. Roll 1d8 to determine the wall's color; the results\
  \ for 5-8 are below. A red, orange, yellow, or green wall deals an extra 10 damage.\
  \ \n\n5. **Blue** The wall stops auditory, petrification, and visual effects from\
  \ passing through, and creatures passing through are subject to the effects of *flesh\
  \ to stone*. *Magic missile* can counteract a blue *chromatic wall*. \n\n6. **Indigo**\
  \ The wall stops divination and mental effects from passing through, and those passing\
  \ through are subject to the effects of *warp mind*. *Searing light* can counteract\
  \ an indigo *chromatic wall*.\n\n7. **Violet** The wall prevents spells from targeting\
  \ the other side (area effects still cross as normal). Creatures passing through\
  \ must succeed at a Will save or they are slowed 1 for 1 minute; on a critical failure,\
  \ the creature is instead sent to another plane, with the effect of *plane shift*.\
  \ *Dispel magic* can counteract a violet *chromatic wall*. \n\n8. Reroll, and creatures\
  \ that pass through the wall take a -2 circumstance penalty to their saves."
