Description
- This spell brings forth a gimlet shard of pure destruction as the caster growls out the terrible, painful sounds of the incantation. This shard glows with a dim, dire light of no colors, the world itself flinching away from the utter abyssal terror of this things potential.
If cast during combat, however long it takes to bring into existence, the caster must make a Bailiwick check. If they fail, their action is wasted. If they succeed, the spell is cast.
The light-shedding mote, the hellball, is about the size of a child's heart. This dire thing darts away to a square designated by the caster, unerringly, as long as they have line of sight and line of effect to their target. Once it arrives, it explodes, dealing (Circle 9 damage): 1d6+3 points of damage per character level (max 25d6+75 at character level 25) of (undefined damage type) damage to all creatures, friend or foe, caught wholly or partly within the blast. There is no saving throw.
As a True Dweomer, this spell requires three spell slots to Mana Burn for each Circle gained, and cannot be sacrificed to Mana Burn any other spells of any type.
