Malygnus' Shattering Obelisk
Conjuration/Necromancy
Level: Wiz 5
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100 ft+10 ft/level)
Target: One humanoid, and a 20 ft radius area
Duration: 3 rounds
Saving Throw: Special, see spell description.
Spell Resistance: No
Malygnus' final work, the mage thought. What a joke. It was barely having any effect on the subject of the test... wait. What was this? The subject didn't escape yet? *BOOM* And then the obelisk exploded? Hmm... perhaps old man Malygnus was smarter than he looked....
Malygnus' Shattering Obelisk is the last spell the grand archmage Malygnus crafted before being taken by Those in the Dark. It conjures an obelisk over the target, entombing them in a tower of black, energy draining and body crushing stone, before exploding for the final nail in the target's coffin.
Casting: There is no save against being affected to begin with.
Round 1: The target must make a Fortitude save, or be trapped inside the obelisk, and takes 3d6 crushing damage (Fort neg, and ends the spell).
Round 2: The target must make a Will save, or gain 1d4 negative levels. Success does not free them from the obelisk. Either way, they take an additional 2d6 crushing damage.
Round 3: The obelisk explodes, dealing the target a final 1d6 crushing damage, and forcing Reflex saves from everyone in the area or take 5d6 piercing damage and 1 negative level (if, made, save halves the damage and negs the negative level).
Ok, so, that's the spell. First things first: it's not an easily accesable spell, so it's probably a little powerful for 5th level. Second, forgive my HORRIBLE prose at the beginning. I just wanted to fool about a bit. Third, thoughts? Comments? Constructive criticisms welcome. :)
Thanks, and look for more amusing spells in the future.
