Universal Collapse is the ultimate invocation of 10th+ level planar obliteration, unraveling the very fabric of reality. When you cast this spell, you tap into the primal forces of creation and destruction, collapsing the multiverse into a singularity of annihilation.
Effects[edit]
Planar Instability[edit]
Upon beginning to cast this 13th level spell, a radius of 1,000 miles centered on you becomes unstable.
- Tremors: Earthquakes shake the land, causing fissures that lead to the Astral Plane. All creatures within range must succeed on a DC 30 Dexterity saving throw or fall into these fissures, taking 20d10 force damage.
- Arcane Turmoil: Magic within the radius goes wild. Whenever a spell is cast, roll a d100. On a roll of 1–10, the spell fails and triggers a random effect from the Wild Magic Surge table.
Reality Collapse[edit]
At the start of your next turn after casting, reality begins to unravel in the affected area. All non-artifact objects and structures disintegrate into dust. Creatures within the radius must make a DC 30 Constitution saving throw or take 50d12 necrotic damage and be reduced to 0 hit points. On a successful save, creatures take half damage.
- Any creature killed by this effect is erased from existence, leaving no soul to resurrect.
Singularity Event[edit]
At the end of the spell’s duration, you unleash a singularity at the center of the affected area.
- All Matter Collapses: The singularity pulls all matter within the radius toward it. Creatures and objects are sucked in unless they succeed on a DC 30 Strength saving throw. Those that fail take 100d12 force damage, ignoring resistances and immunities.
- Multiverse Fracture: If cast on a planar boundary, this spell creates a permanent rift in the multiverse. The affected planes collide and merge chaotically, altering the laws of physics and magic permanently. The DM determines the long-term consequences.
Caster Sacrifice[edit]
Upon completing the spell, the caster is consumed in the collapse. You cannot be resurrected by any means short of a Wish spell cast by a god-tier entity, and even then, only if the multiverse remains stable.
Classes[edit]
Archmage Wizards, Oathbreaker Paladins (cosmic-level), Celestial Warlocks, or custom classes designated for cosmic-level campaigns.
DM Note: This spell is intended for extremely high-level or one-shot campaigns, or as an ultimate ability for a world-ending antagonist. Its effects are universe-altering and should be used sparingly.
