Acid Rain
Spell, Sorcery, level 7
Drenches an area in corrosive rain that damages everything caught in it and may ruin gear; stone, glass and ceramics are spared and full armor cuts the damage.
From the book
A drenching, corrosive downpour falls on a 10x10x10 ft. area, dealing 10-60 (10d6) points of damage to every creature in it with no save; anyone in a full suit of armor takes only 1/4 damage while the armor lasts. Gear suffers too: wooden, leather and fabric items are 40%, 50% and 60% likely to be ruined, and even metal items have a 25% chance of corroding into uselessness, less 5% per +1 of enchantment on magic items. Smooth or cut stone is left pitted and stained but not seriously harmed, and ceramics and glass are untouched.

A scene
The pirate captain on the deck of the corsair in the Sea of Baku is laughing at the sorcerer on the merchant ship across the water, confident in his mail and his crew. The sorcerer Lavinia points at him. A small dark cloud gathers directly above the captain and his officers and opens up in a hissing, stinking downpour. The officers scream as it burns them. The captain survives, inside his heavy mail, but his leather belt falls apart, his cloak dissolves, and the deck under his feet is smoking and blistering.
