The wizard launches a ball of light that both burns and blinds its opponents. While casting this spell, a wizard will close his own eyes to avoid becoming blind. To avoid the blind effect, opponents who are able to react before the spell hits (with a Reflex Save) are not blinded. If not, a Fortitude Save will avoid permanent blindness, with only a temporary blind effect taking place. The Blind effect can be removed by a healing spell that restores the missing hit points.
