Epic Spells Submission Thread

[Zexion]

Post your extremely overpowered epic spells here for evaluation and to get ideas. No Spellcraft DC can go over 2,000. Out-of-the-box thinking is welcome and encouraged.
I'll start with just an idea of mine:

SHADOW METEOR SWARM
Evocation
Spellcraft DC: not exactly sure (Seeds: Energy)
Components: none
Casting Time: Standard Action
Range: 16 targets within 300 ft.
Effect: Dark meteors made of shadow fire from the caster’s hands, dealing 50d20 fire damage across a 40 ft. area spread.
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Ref (half)
Spell
Resistance: Yes (I think)
Important information is in bold.

The spell is overpowered, yes, and capable of wiping out hundreds of high-level soldiers in one round, yes. Plus, no EXP cost, material component, or anything else! (Note: I would like to keep it that way, just so you know...) Just cast and leave the smoking remains of your enemies to simmer.
What do you think?

It costs a massive amount of EXP to develop because of the fact that EXP and gold are required to research this unimpressive spell.

Here's one:

Destroy the Universe.
Evocation
Spellcraft DC: 0
Components: none
Casting Time: Swift Action
Range: The Universe
Effect: Infinite D20 dice to everything in the universe.
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Ref (Half)
Spell
Resistance: Yes
Mitigations: A crapload of your created creatures epic spell slots.

Epic spellcasting is broken, and there are no good ideas that can come of it. You can either get an overpriced spell with a minimal effect and a high DC (yours, which is... pretty bad, if you figure out the actual DC), or mitigate it to zero and do whatever the hell you want (mine).

[The Tygre]

I don't know... sounds kind of overpowered. I think I like the Shadow Meteors one better. It sounds really cool.

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

What about the feanmerc system?

[Tavar]

What about the feanmerc system?

The what now?

[The Tygre]

The what now?

Indeed. I am skeptical but intrigued, Dark Master.

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

This here.

[Dante & Vergil]

Yeah, that version of Epic Spellcasting is the best I've seen, and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who knows about it.

[Zexion]

Okay... but EXP and gold is always required to develop a spell, right? So it doesn't really matter.
Oh, and for the Spellcraft DC, it was just a concept. That's what this thread is for.

[Scarlet Tropix]

So what would the Dark Meteor Swarm transfer to in Feanmerc?
=o

[Foryn Gilnith]

It makes mitigation more difficult, true...
But doesn't the spell level system just encourage DC 0 spells even more?

[Zexion]

What about a magical plague? How would that work? I would imagine it would require many Ad Hoc modifiers...

[Milskidasith]

It makes mitigation more difficult, true...
But doesn't the spell level system just encourage DC 0 spells even more?

Yes. With the costs the same, but a hefty feat tax required on top of normal epic casting, having DC 0 spells is still necessary.

[The Tygre]

What about a magical plague? How would that work? I would imagine it would require many Ad Hoc modifiers...

Define 'magical plague'. Do you mean a regular plague strengthened through magic, or like, some kind of arcane mutation epidemic or spots of chaos magic around the world or something like that?

[Zexion]

Something like a micro antienergy field that jumps from person to person through the air, shorting out their nervous systems and minds, therefore killing them stone dead. So, a magical effect that acts like a plague, but is actually quite simple.

[The Tygre]

Sounds pretty potent. Fort. saves allowed, I'm assuming?

[Lysander]

Ok, I'm not going to bother figuring out how to actually make this. But you wanted a ridiculous epic spell:

Abracadabra
Universal
Components: None
Casting Time: One standard action
Range: Personal
Effect: Cast all your spells at once
Duration: One round
Saving Throw: No
Spell Resistance: No

Casting Abracadabra forces you and allows to use all remaining non-epic spells slots you have for the day in a single round. You may direct each spell individually against any applicable target. Prepared spells that take longer than one standard action to cast, or that you cannot provide the components for simply have their slot wasted. You can choose to discard a spell slot rather than cast a spell with it. Spells with a duration of concentration expire at the end of the round. The spells Abracadabra allows you to cast count as their own non-epic level and as separate spells.

[Zexion]

Fort saves, yes, would be allowed. UNLESS you are immune to Electric energy, then you just die, no save.
Or it could be a Will save, to keep the energy from leaving your body... it would probably have the Dispel seed. I am currently working on it.
EDIT: Here is the spell: Yes, it uses a Fort save.

Shutdown Virus
Abjuration
Spellcraft DC: 45 (19+25-10+20)
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: 300 ft. (per target)
Target: One creature, object, or spell
Duration: 1 round/Generation
Saving Throw: Fort
Spell Resistance: No
To Develop: 20 ft. Spread/Caster Level (Ad Hoc +25), Easy Target: Nervous System (-10), One Action Casting Time (+20)

A ripple of warped space jumps from your outstretched finger to an enemy, shuting down their nervous system (killing them). When it hits them, a larger ripple of space spreads out for 20 ft, . This spreading repeats once per round for 1 round/caster level, spreading out from all targets of the spell last round (doesn't matter if they died). The save DC against the effect decreases by 1 every successive round the virus is in action. The spell can be modified to warp nonmagical weapons with a 10+ to the DC. Weapons do not get saves against the effect. This spell does not work against Undead.

[Zeta Kai]

Abracadabra

Evocation & SOD/S spells just got a whole lot scarier.

Of course, once you've gone nova, your glass cannon is depleted, & anything left standing is essentially facing an epic-level Commoner.

[Zexion]

Indeed. My DM once had a very powerful lower cosmic level sorcerer that participated in a battle against an infinite swarm of evil deities. The sorcerer was SUPPOSED to be our first line of battle, as I was still 150th level at the time. Our side was having a very easy time of it, and to make it tougher, my DM decided to get the sorcerer to expend ALL of his spells at once. Not fun for the opposing side. Unluckily for my DM, it actually destroyed the opposing plane of existence that the demon gods were coming from, and he had to give me a story EXP award for... watching Armageddon.

You'd definitely want a wand and some scrolls on hand for afterwards if you plan to cast it. Or set up a Contigency to teleport you home after.

[Zexion]

I agree. If several castings of Shutdown Virus were successive, well, things could get really scary. Does anyone see a problem with Shutdown Virus?

[Dante & Vergil]

I can't remember where it says it, but the feanmerc system only allows an Epic Spellcasting DC to be reduced by up to half or some fraction. (i.e. so when you create a spell with like a 500, you still can only mitigate it in N hunddreds.)

[Real Sorceror]

These aren't nearly as broken as some of the spells posted above, but they're still fun as hell.

Epic Disintegrate
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: 120 ft.
Area: 120-ft. line
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Fortitude Half
Spell Resistance: Yes

You release an immense green beam of energy that treats each creature and object in its path as having been hit by a Disintegrate spell. Each target is subject to its own individual saving throw.

Epic Fireball
Evocation [Fire]
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level)
Area: 1000-ft.-radius spread
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: No
Spell Resistance: Yes

As Fireball, except the fireball spreads to cover an immense area.

Epic Energy Drain
Saving Throw: Fortitude partial; see text for Energy Drain

This spell functions like Energy Drain, except that it also creates a simulacrum of the target that has a number of class levels or HD equal to the number of levels drained.

The simulacrum is like that created by the simulacrum spell except it the same type of creature as the target rather than an ice duplicate, and it can be healed by all normal means. It is created with a shadow copy of all the target's equipment, except this equipment does not retain any magical properties of the original. If the victim regains its drained levels the simulacrum loses an equal number of levels; if it loses all its levels it and its equipment stops existing.

Everyone at the table has to give the player 5 dollars of legal currency.
The focus for this is a gullable player :)

Me likey. That Energy Drain one is becoming a plot hook.

*gasp!* Does this also mean that water is wet?
