This spell covers the area of effect in a blanket of fire and streaking comets. The havoc created by this spell is so horrific, that creatures seeing it must save vs. Paralyzation at -4 or run away in fear. Those unfortunate enough to be within the spells radius suffer 12d12 damage, with a saving throw for half damage. The caster is immune to the effects of her own spell. Normal or magical fire protection does not protect against this spell.
The material component of this spell is the blacken bone of one who was destroyed by intense magical fire.
Notes: Restricted to Elementalists; common for Sun mages, otherwise rare.
