A torrent of magical flames pours down from the heavens, incinerating everything in its wake. Each creature within range, including you, must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes an amount of damage based on its distance from the center of the cylinder, as shown in the following table. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage. If this damage reduces a creature to 0 hit points, it is disintegrated. You receive no force damage from this spell.
Distance | Damage |
---|---|
300 ft. away or closer | 12d10 fire damage and 12d10 force damage |
301 to 600 ft. away | 6d10 fire damage and 6d10 force damage |
601 to 1,320 ft. away | 3d10 fire damage and 3d10 force damage |
A disintegrated creature and everything it is wearing and carrying, except magic items, are reduced to a pile of fine gray dust. The creature can be restored to life only by means of a true resurrection or a wish spell.
This spell automatically disintegrates a nonmagical object, a creation of magical force, or an antimagic field. A magic item is unaffected by this spell.
