Bombard - Old Empire

When this spell is cast upon a single creature within spell range, giant stones appear and bombard the target, inflicting 10d6 points of damage. A successful saving throw vs. spell reduces the damage by half. Each successive round, a new bombardment strikes the target, causing 10d6 points of damage.

This spell lasts one round for every four levels of the caster, rounded down (thus, a bombardment from a 16th- through 19th-level wizard lasts four rounds, a bombardment from a 20th- through 23rd-level wizard lasts five rounds, etc.). Each bombardment after the first round strikes before any other actions take place in the round.

A creature with magic resistance checks each round-a successful resistance roll ends the spell. This check is made before taking bombardment damage for the round. The spell ends if the target moves out of range. A successful dispel magic spell cast on the target negates the spell.

The material component for this spell is a piece of meteoric iron.

Notes: Rare spell. As a Forgotten Realms Old Empire spell, initial exposure requires a mentor or a read Southern magic spell.
