Concussive Pulse
Evocation [Force]
Level: Sor/Wiz 4
Components: V,S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100ft + 10ft/level)
Effect: A radidly expanding sphere of force
Area: 20ft radius burst
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Fort negates (see text)
Spell Resistance: Yes

You call into being a bead of force which rapidly expands to fill a 20ft burst, pushing most objects along with it.

All objects weighing less than 10 lbs/ caster level are pushed directly away from the center of the burst. Creatures may make a fort save to avoid being moved. Any creature or object that is stopped in its movement by an object that cannot be moved by this spell takes 1d4 damage/caster level (max 10d4).

So only creatures who stop moving prematurely are damaged? Given that, I think I would remove the weight limit. Otherwise it would be pretty useless, as most things simply wont be affected by it (even at CL 20 you can only move 200lb). The fact that its a "fort negates" already means that most big beasties will be immune to it.

I like the flavor, though. :)
