Destroys all magic items in a huge area? That. my friend, is EPIC!

It does seem Epic, then again... most hords of goblins or what not are not running around with arsenals of enchanted weapons.

Im going to let you all argue it out, and come back to my ickle storm later and change things. Though I must admit I do want the Epic Level Handbook

Yes, but you could totally dessimate any other adventurers...

I mean, if an enemy used this one you wouldn't you call it overpowered? All of your spells gone and all of your items destroyed without even SEEING your enemy?

[Barrok]

do you also think that the XP cost should be raised I was thinking maybe 10000

does seem like a nifty way for a Evil DM to take away some of the magical things the players wormed out of him when he was drunk and babbling though the night.... :lol:

OO those numbers are pretty big. What a nice spell though, just looking at it made me warm and fuzzy inside. So for Epic Spells I need to add SpellCraft and a seed? am I on the right track there?

If anyone wants to suggest the developement of the spell that would be a great help

If it's truly epic, then it should have a more prominent effect on the landscape. Flooding, mudslides, animals getting spooked, and morale checks for anyone witnessing your god's might who is concidered an enemy. Maybe some plants being uprooted in the flood.
