Call Destruction is a powerful attack thaumaturgy spell.

Description[edit]

Calling upon the spell, Call Destruction, the thaumaturge sends horrible lightning bolts and explosions raining from the skies after all enemies in the caster's area of sight. Against such a massive assault, only very few creatures can prevail. Since it can be casted repeatedly to stack, only very little is left alive after the destruction is over, making the spell ideal for greater battles.

Lore[edit]

This spell causes bolts of lightning and destructive explosions to cascade around the Thaumaturge, unerringly striking any visible foes.
From the utterance of these words comes the power to call down from the sky great bolts of lightning which cascade about the caster and strike down his or her foes. Note that the resultant fiery explosions will unerringly hit visible targets, but will not be able to affect invisible targets. The necessary components are the spellbook and the following reagents: Serpent Scale, Dragon Blood, Ash, Pig Iron, and Executioner’s Hood.
