In this thread, I will write 2E epic level spells (which I try to convert 3E : ) which could be foun in magazins or Arcane age books. To begin with, I wanted to write a spell which everybody would loves but unknown except maniacs(like myself :D ) Here she is, the spell of a madman which tried to become a god himself. Karsus's Avatar (Invocation/Evocation, Enchantment/Charm, Alteration) Level: 12 Range: Unlimited Duration: Limited Area of affect: One god Field: Mantalism Components:v,s,m Casting Time: 6 hours Saving Throw: Special Karsus spent well over a decade researching this spell. It was so complex that he had to use a ston-filled gizzard of a gold dragon and a part of the epidermis of the pituitary gland of the tarrasque just to enchant one of the material component's of the spell. This spell allowed the caster to become a god of his choosing, replacing the current god with himself the moment the spell was completed. Wheter the gods recieved a saving throw, aware of its casting, and the caster dies when the spell duration is over. The notes regarding the spells essence were nowhere to be found. It's belived Mystra, the reincarnated form of Mystryl, snatched the spell informations from the ruins of Karsus's enclave and sent it on an eternel journey to the ends of the universe. . . Encyclopedia Arcana, pg 10 Please post me about your thoughts about this post. And I will post a new epic level spell at least once in a week :) (And if you have some epic spells please post them-kedi :) )

This is the most powerful spell ever crafted and every FR fans should know this spell :D

He wasn't a rambling madman - picture him as a sort of Netherese Thomas Edison. As for the spell... what do you think Karsus would say if he knew that these days' archwizards require the same effort just to cast a maximized meteor swarm? :behold:
Gotrex 07-30-03, 04:25 PM	If you read the netheril trilogy specificaly Dangerouse games you will see that Karsus is utterly insane hes a genius but insane
kedi 07-31-03, 12:45 AM	Think about, Karsus was the greatest arcanist in past, and he could cast only 12 level spells. However, Ssaz Tam has an 17 level spell slot(which he uses to cast a quickened maximized energy drain :) )
Mirtek 07-31-03, 01:31 AM	Originally posted by kedi Duration: Unlimited This is the old version of the spell, but it got it's errata already in 2e in Powers&Pantheons. The duration went from "unlimited" to "limited". And 3e also added the death of the caster at the end of the duration.
kedi 07-31-03, 02:07 AM	Thank you for the changes :)
kedi 07-31-03, 04:28 AM	Karsus Birthdate: 3163 Death: 3520 Class: 41 level arcanist (mentalist) Hit Points: 74 STR:19 DEX:13 CON:19 INT:22 WIS:19 CHA15 Baby :cool:

And 3e also added the death of the caster at the end of the duration. Actually P&P lists duration as Unknown, limited... And the spell description in P&P states that the informations about this spell is lost... that is why all (5 of 9) the data are listed as unknown... the only known about it is level, school, field, and AOE...
Mirtek 07-31-03, 01:12 PM	Yes, but in 3e LoD picks this P&P version and even adds the death of the caster after the end of the duration.
