(Alteration, Conjuration, Evocation)
Level: 9
Range: 20 yds.
Components: V, M
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 9
Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: None
This spell conjures a streaking lance of positive energy, which strikes unerringly, enrapping the victim in a positive enrgy sheen, causing the target to achieve full potential as a star. The creature struck by the bolt is instantly healed of 15d8 hit points of damage, is incapacitated, and begins to stream positive energy outward from its body in a 60-foot radius sphere.
This brilliant white energy blinds everyone who can see it, and heals all living beings within the sphere of 7d4 points of damage.
Beings connected to the Negative Material Plane are extremely vulnerable to this spell, instead suffering 30d8 points of damage from the bolt and 14d4 points of damage from the positive energy sphere.
At the end of the round, the target creature explodes as a supernova, causing 6d12 points of explosive damage to all within 5-foot radius per caster level. A successful saving throw vs. spells reduces this damage by half (round fractions down). The caster is never harmed or affected by this spell.
Brightstar affects all beings except those from the Positive Material Plane; those normally immune to fire and/or heat suffer damage normally.
The material component of this spell is a crystal prism filled with positive energy gathered personally by the caster.
Notes: Unique to Jordon "Piper" Silverblade of the FORGOTTEN REALMS setting.
