Does anyone know of any spells with an incredibly large area of effect (Mile/per level of bigger) that does damage? (I am aware of the spell Apocalypse from the Sky by the way. :smallcool:)

Your title got cut off somehow.


As for the question...your options are AFTS or any variant of the Locate City Bomb, really. Don't think there are any else.

Yeah, I am familiar with the bomb, I managed to re-equip it for fell drain, which if used in a built up area....

Apocalypse from the Sky is really the only thing I can think of, which has a truly ridiculous area.

10d6 sonic damage to everything over 125664 square miles (or, 9/10 of Germany roughly)? Yes please.

That is truly excellent distance, but I only would need it to be roughly a mile in length.

Basically, the whole purpose of this is that I am working out how to create what is effectively a zombie apocalypse with wights, using the fell drain metamagic feat and a large area effect spell. After a certain point it would just spread, as wights make more wights. (This is more of a mental exercise of RAW use, I don't think any of my PC's will ever use it. :smallwink:)

You can use Fimbulwinter (from Frostburn) for this purpose if you can get them out of the AoE afterwards.

Found it! Nice! Thanks, but does it deal damage? (That's required by the Felldrain Feat)

There's a metamagic feat (flash freeze i think, but i'm not 100% sure). It makes an area spell deal 2 points of damage as well as layer the place with ice. I think it's what you add to locate city to add the damage to allow for fel drain.

Note that this has been thought of before (look for the locate city bomb).
