Thaumaturgy Conversion for Pathfinder

This passed weekend while running the Portal gaming event track at ScareFest 7 I received the belated wedding present I didn't know I wanted. It was a copy of the new (5th edition as of the time of this writing) Dungeons & Dragon's Player's Handbook. It's been an interesting experience revisiting D&D after a two-and-a-half edition hiatus, and I've found a lot to like and a lot to grumble over in this new edition, much of which we will discuss on the upcoming Edition Wars episode of d-Infinity Live. However, while reading through the magic chapter I came across a spell so cool, so creative, and so flexible I knew I had to lift it for my Pathfinder campaign. I now present to you, the thaumaturgy cantrip converted (and expanded) for Pathfinder.
