Necromancy[edit]

if the spell transforms the target into pure energy it should be a transmutation spell rather then a necromancy spell... if you want to leave it necromancy I would suggest changing the flavor text to say that "the creature is consumed from with in by negative energy." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.200.116.197 (talkcontribs) 12:35, 8 March 2006 (MDT).

It even says transmutes in the description. --Milo High-Hill 00:50, 3 March 2011 (MST)

9th level?[edit]

IMO, this spell is too weak to be 9th level. The average player has a Con of 13, and would "only" take 13d6 points of damage; I don't think this is quite powerful enough to be 9th level. Maybe make it a no-save?--Sand-reckoner 23:25, 15 March 2006 (MST)

Well, I should think that the target would suffer other inconveniences.... maybe make the target become staggered and have the spell's effect only last for a while rather than be permanent?Furbuggy 10:51, 16 April 2007 (MDT)
It is really either too weak or too powerful. Consider epic characters with say 60 Con. 60d6 damage is really good for a 9th level slot. Frankly though, 9th level is not the place for damage dealing spells (save maybe meteor swarm). 9th level spells should be the ones with really cool and powerful effects (Wish, Timestop, Imprisonment, Shapechange). --Aarnott 14:39, 16 April 2007 (MDT)
Hm... Would it balance this to make it 8th level, make a cap on it, and made the target get Confused (or something else—whatever) when hit? Do you guys think that would balance this? --Green Dragon 18:06, 16 April 2007 (MDT)
