At level 8 the mountain domain grants a power called thin air. It is an aura that expands 5ft from you and calls our affecting creatures adjacent to you. Now how is it with creatures that are larger? Especially those big enough (huge+) that their head is not within 5ft from you any more. Will they be affected? As I read the power I'd say yes, as long as any part of them is adjacent to me it works. Am I right?
Sure, most big creatures have good fort saves and are less likely to be affected. But that's not the point.

It's a supernatural power, it gets to break "reality". It works because they touch your aura. The "air" is the flavor, how it functions mechanically is clearly described. Maybe touching your aura sucks the air out of them? Probably using whatever magic power it is that distinguishes between creatures and objects. Find a fluff you like and roll with it.
