So, my (admittedly fairly silly) campaign recently got a boost into epic, and I'm giving all of the casters the ability to make some epic spells (within reason, requiring, of course, that I approve the spell and all that jazz).
Joking with one of my players for an epic spell her character might create (and going off of the character's personality, which is essentially a whirlwind of sorcerous detestation), I coined this term completely at random.
And now I want to make the spell.
So the operative idea is that it transports them to a special plane, possibly created upon the casting of the spell. The plane then subjects the target to, well, Tenfold Horrific Trials of Deathly Torment. Probably nasties and torturings and all that fun stuff.
The question is, how to make it? Is it even reasonable for a 25th level character to have such a spell?
The first things I looked at were the Transport and Conjure seeds. Also, considering how the DC might work out, I thought of splitting it into two spells, the aforementioned spell being the creation of the plane upon which the horrific trials take place and the other being a spell to shoot the target into them. But the Conjure seed doesn't appear to have anything on creating another plane (though there is the 9th level spell Genesis which can do it).
How would you go about making such a spell? When crafting the spell please keep in mind that any uses of really stupid cheese (like the infinite epic summoning outsider stuff. Basically, don't propose anything you wouldn't allow as a DM yourself). The caster does have access to a number of minions, many of them able to contribute high level spell slots, and other mitigating factors may be made available.
