(Shadow)
Range: 30 yds./level
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 4
Area of Effect: 4-ft. radius sphere
Saving Throw: Special
This spell causes an explosive blast of corrosive mist and necromantic energy. The wizard first picks a primary target then launches the blastmist, which affects all beings in a 10-foot radius. This mist causes 1d6 points of damage per level of the caster (to a maximum of 10d6), and everyone within its radius can save for half damage. Plus the main target of this spell suffers the effects of a shadow burst spell in addition to the above effects. The main target must make a second, separate saving throw to lessen these effects.
The material component for blastmist is a vial of icor from a demon.
Note: Restricted to necromancers and shadow mages; rare.
