This invocation works like gust of wind, except that it also does 1d6 or 1d4 Dexterity damage (the former value when cast by a warlock, the latter value when cast by a wind mage). The Dexterity damage can be reduced by success on the Fortitude save; for the warlock version, a successful save halves the Dexterity damage, while for the wind mage version, a successful save reduces the Dexterity damage by 2, to a minimum of 0. For both versions, the Dexterity damage is a negative energy effect, and can be resisted (or not) accordingly. However, stability bonuses or penalties do not affect the save DC with respect to resisting the Dexterity damage (though they do apply to the save for negating being checked or blown away by the gust of wind as normal).
Due to their different magical proficiencies, warlocks and wind mages cast this invocation slightly differently. Warlocks can inflict more Dexterity damage, and the Dexterity damage is harder to withstand, as described in the previous paragraph; wind mages cast this invocation with a +1 increase to the caster level and save DC (which stacks with the +1 (or +2) increase they get from Air Power). (Essentially, warlocks focus more on the "baleful" aspect and wind mages focus more on the "wind" aspect.)
This invocation is an [Air] effect.
