Mana per Level: 2

Casting Time: 1 Standard Action

Range: Varies

Target: AoE 10’ Radius Sphere per mana level

Duration: 1d4 rounds

Avoidance: Dodge for half

Special: No save

Type: Damage

A magical force or a chosen element (fire, water, earth, air, ice, or electricity) rains down from above in the area of effect. This spells needs space above the ground of at least 30’ (meaning it can not be cast inside rooms or cramped dungeons).

2 Mana: 1d4+1 damage, 10 ft. radius sphere, 50 ft. range. 

Each additional level adds 1d4+1 damage, 5’ to the radius sphere, and 15’ to the range.

Targeting: A caster must target a single square and then successfully roll a Spot skill check to hit that target. If the Spot skill fails, roll 1d8, and the spell lands in an adjoining space. To determine the direction, the closest space to the spellcaster being 1 and rotating clockwise. To determine how far from the intended target space, it is equal to 5’x the spells damage dice away from the target space. On a fumble (100), the spell centers on the caster. For more see Targeting AoE Spells previously in this chapter.

If the spell is imbued with an element, the spell also causes the Elemental Effect to any target that it does damage to.

  • Fire causes flammable items to catch fire and burn. Low melting point metals melt. Target gains the On Fire effect.
  • Water puts out mundane fires or dilute acid.
  • Ice slows creatures by 1/2. Effort save to negate. 
  • Earth covers the objects in dust and dirt, outlining any invisible objects or creatures. 
  • Electricity does an extra 1d4 damage to anyone in heavy metal armor (chainmail, breastplate, half plate, or full plate).
  • Air knocks SIZ 20 or smaller creatures prone. Agility save to negate falling.

Spellcraft failure: Roll 1d8, and the spell lands in the adjoining space from the target space, with the closest space to the spellcaster being 1 and rotating clockwise. For a fumble, the spell centers on the caster.

Spellcraft Fumble: The spell targets the caster.
