Another New Spell

I was browsing clerical spells in LL advanced book and I noticed this under animate dead: "A lawful character that casts this spell may draw disfavor from his god." basically this spell is out for lawful clerics. considering how handy this spell is, i mean you can raise an army of undead fodder to fight for you (and in the barrowmaze where bones are EVERYWHERE, I mean c'mon), I thought I'd propose a new spell.

So basically, I was thinking of making a lawful only type third level spell that would give something back to the st. ygg lovers of the group. Essentially I would have Cromwell pray for a spell like this:

"Cromwell's Lawful Gavel"
Must be Lawful
third level spell
range 40 ft.

In a 10 ft. radius within the caster's line of sight, a glowing light strikes down targets within. This causes all creatures who fail a save versus spells to immediately fall prone. Additionally, any undead within the radius must take 1d6 per two caster levels of magic damage on a failed save. For example, a 6th level cleric casting this spell would knock a group of Undead creatures prone and inflict 3d6 damage, though the man at arms fighting them at the time would merely be knocked prone (assuming they all failed their save).

Keep in mind it's a third level spell and would take considerable advancement before use, and may very well never see the light of day. It's only a blueprint of a thought I had, I wanted to see what inital reactions were.
