I've been replaying golden sun lately, and came up with this idea for a spell(s):
Volcano
Conjuration (creation) [fire]
Sor/Wiz/Drd 7
Components: V, S
Casting time: 1 standard action
Range: close (25' + 5'/level)
Effect: one blast of lava
Duration: instantaneous (see text)
Saving throw: see text
SR: no
A fountain of lava bursts from beneath your enemy, searing the target to the bone. The target must be within 10' of the ground and have a line of effect to the ground, or the spell fizzles. When struck, the target takes damage as if immersed fully in lava (20d6), or as if partially submerged (10d6) on a succesful reflex save. Afterwards any lava that does not cling to the target disappears. The lava continues to deal damage equal to half the initial damage (10d6 or 5d6) for 1d3 rounds.
Eruption
Sor/Wiz/Drd 8
As Volcano, except it may also affect targets adjacent to the primary target. Targets adjacent to the primary target must make a reflex save or be affected as if partially submerged in lava.
Pyroclasm
Sor/Wiz/Drd 9
As Volcano, except that it affects targets near the first. The primary target is affected as normal. Creatures adjacent to the primary target affected the same way. Creatures between 5 and 10 feet from the target must make a reflex save or be affected as if partially submerged.
My main concern is that Volcano is too powerful, and that Pyroclasm is too weak when compared to Transmute Rock to Lava and the more official volcano style spell I can't remember.
