Encyclopedia
Some magic is just too potent for mere mortals. None should have learned the words for this spell. If any had learned it, none should have written them down. The High Kingdom of Qwar places the penalty for speaking of the spell at death by fire.
Needless to say, it is quite readily available in any well stocked library.
Description
Does not require a target. Fails if the caster has the Tired intrinsic. Creates a massive explosion in a 3-tile radius around the caster, which deals 7d7+21 (28-70) light damage to all those struck. It also melts all of the tiles in that radius, reducing them to lava and leaving the caster standing on his tiny island.
Gives the caster the Tired intrinsic for 20d20+20 rounds.
Tips
The Tired intrinsic doesn't actually do much, except keep you from doing it again too quickly! Besides the obvious destructive effects, this is a great way to clear out an obstacle course of traps and pits, such as is left by a few battles with Earth Elementals (note that pits adjacent to the area will also be filled, while boulders will fill the occasional lava square). Naturally, it gives you unlimited access to lava -- all the Greek Fire you have bottles for! On the other hand, you'd better have either Fire Resistance+Water Walking, or at least controlled-teleport ability. Judicious application of water can enlarge your central island, if desired.
