From D&D Wiki
| 4th-level Evocation | |
| Casting time: | 1 action |
|---|---|
| Range: | 120ft per turn while charging, to a max of 720ft |
| Components: | V, S |
| Duration: | Concentration, up to 8 turns maximum. |
Prerequisite: Must be able to cast and know Catastrophic Devastation.
Using all sources of light itself with this spell, you create a 40ft sphere that only grows in time, with each turn that passes while creating this sphere, it gains double the radius in size (to a max of 320ft).
Damage starts at 4d4, than for each turn charging, in increases as such 5d4, 5d6, 6d6, 6d8, 7d8, 8d8.
At any point while the spell is active, you can dispel it on your turn, one action necessary, storing it for later. As soon the sphere touch's a animated target, it explodes, erupting in an explosion triple the size of the sphere, all creatures within the sphere's explosion must make a Dexterity saving throw. You can only charge the sphere to a bigger size if you have spell slots to do so, every size above 10ft costs one spell slot higher than 4th, to a max of 9th.
The type of damage is determined based on your class, Artificer=Thunder Bard=Psychic Cleric=Radiant, Druid=Lightning, Paladin=Slashing, Ranger=Piercing Sorcerer=Fire, Warlock=Necrotic, Wizard=Force. For Slashing, the explosion is shooting extremely sharp and fast slices of air. For Piercing, the explosion causes Piercing needles of air to stab into targets.
Alternatively instead of charging you could instantly use the spell at a higher level but you cant' cast spells of the same level excluding 4th level spells.
- Example: instant casting at 6th level, you now can not use any 6th level spell. Example two: Instant casting at 4th level, acts like an normal 4th level spell.
After the spell is casted, the light in the area is absorbed.
You may use all of your spell slots in order to multiply the max damage by however many spell classes you have sub classed into or that you can naturally learn from your class up to a max of 9 for every 9 spell slot used (levels dont increase the multiplier just the base damage), however doing this causes you to be dropped to 1 hp, unconscious and gain 3 levels of exhaustion.
Starting at 4th level, it Max damage deals 8d8, increasing to 8d10 at 5h level, 8d10 at 6th level, 9d10 at 7th level, 10d12 at 8th level, 12d12 at 9th level.
