Razor Gale is a straightforward spell with a primarily defensive intent. To cast it, all the user must do is concentrate, then thrust forward his palm. A magical wind will gush forward in front of him, carrying with it dozens if not hundreds leaves with edges as sharp as knives created out of thin air. The wind will continue to blow and leaves continue to spawn for up to 10 seconds, but will end prematurely if the user pulls back his extended palm. The wind is sufficiently strong to make approaching through it difficult, but not so strong nor sudden that a properly braced adult would be knocked down by the wind alone.

The species of tree from which the leaves spawn vary from one caster to another, but a spawned leaf will always be the size of the caster's palm. Despite the sharpness of the leaves, their flimsy nature renders them unable to produce any deep cuts or inherently lethal on potential victims struck by Razor Gale. The sheer number of leaves and the incredible amount of cuts that could be sustained are the real problem, especially if the victim is unarmored or unable to dodge the rush of blades. Once any spawned leaf has struck a solid surface or otherwise lost all momentum, it will vanish as abruptly as it appeared.

Once the spell ends, the user cannot cast it again for about 1 minute. With one level of Magic Power, it can be cast every 20 seconds. With two levels of Magic Power, it can be cast once every few seconds.

This treasure is a racial perk for Skull Kids. As such, a Skull Kid can choose to gain it as a perk upon character creation. If a Skull Kid chooses to gain this perk at some point after creation, the perk costs 15 rupees less than the listed cost.

Trivia

• Several treasures can create sudden bursts of wind, including Gust Jar, Deku Leaf, Wind, and others, but only Razor Gale sends slicing projectiles along with the wind.
• The Razor Gale treasure is an original creation by one of Hyrule Castle's members. Its concept is credited to Guy.
