The only 12th-level spell ever created, this incantation enabled Karsus to steal the power of a deity. All notes and information developed by Karsus regarding the casting of this spell were destroyed by Mystra, successor of Mystryl. Even if they were recovered, this spell could never again be cast, since Mystra has since changed the way magic works, making 11th and 12th level incantations impossible.

This spell required countless unique and currently impossible-to acquire material components. For example, Karsus had to dip a gold dragon's gizzard in a brew of tarrasque blood and bile from a 12-headed hydra just to enchant one of the many material components required to cast the spell.
