You shout a magic word and swing your arm in a wide arc. A paper-thin but dense crest of energy sweeps out in the direction you swung, it will cut through the air in a 15 feet wide line slicing through both flesh and stone until it is either absorbed or it reaches its 40 feet limit and quickly fades. Depending on which angle you swung your arm the crest will be conjured with the same amount of orientation to it, meaning you can decide in what way you want to slice things - options are horizontal, vertical or at a 45 degree angle for simplicity reasons.
Creatures who are within the 40 foot "line" of fire must make a DC (20 - 1xDistance from caster in 5 foot increments) Dexterity saving throw, getting hit on failed save and avoiding all damage on a successful one. All hit targets will take 46 (7d8 + 18) Slashing damage (magical), but if a target takes the damage and isn't killed then the crest will shatter on them like glass into a cloud of dust particles and all targets after it in order will avoid any damage they might have otherwise received.
At Higher Levels. When upcasting this spell to 7th level or higher, add 5 feet to the max range and and 1d8 slicing damage for every level of upcast above 6th.
