The spellbook of acid blast, from GruntHack, teaches the acid blast spell.
Effects
Unskilled / basic
At unskilled or basic skill, poison blast generates a ray akin to the acid blast of a yellow dragon; it deals (xplev/2+1)d6 damage to non-acid resistant targets and corrodes weapon and armor on an independent 1-in-6 chance for each.
Skilled / expert
At skilled and expert level, the spell may be targeted at a location no more than 10 squares away that is in sight and an open space. The explosion cannot be cast underwater or on the Plane of Water; if used while swallowed, it is automatically cast on your own location.
Two to nine explosions are generated; the first is centered at the target location, and subsequent explosions are randomly placed on any of the nine squares around that point (unless swallowed). Each explosion deals damage as the unskilled/basic spell; only the damage is dealt, and weapons and armor are not eroded.
