In all honesty I would have trouble allowing this as even a ninth level spell. You should adjust the area so it doesn't scale with level, and make the text more specific as to what it does and doesn't do. The range also needs to be changed. It should be one of the standard ranges, I would personally recommend making it a personal range emanation, out to a certain radius, but you could make it a touch or close range spell as well.

Not only that, but you have to keep in mind that you'd have to have a cap on its size. I've a friend playing a 123rd level necromancer, what happens when he casts power word kill (one of his favourite spells) it would kill everything with the right hp within a cube 1'230 feet by 1'230 feet by 1'230 feet. Thats a fifth of a mile, everything dead. i mean even the minimal caster level if it was a ninth level spell, would cause it to blow up to one eighty cubed. Thats almost certainly an epic level spell, and thats coming from the guy trying to invent a spell to become a god. (mind you if i added this TO the god spell, i could have some REAL fun)

A 123rd level necro? D&D breaks after 25th level.
Anyway it's 123 10x10x10 cubes, not A 1230x1230x1230 cube.

For some spells, MR will not have any effect, such as targeted Dispel Magic or Summon Monster.
Spells which require a focus or DF are still required for others to use the spell. No focus ends the spell immediately for the affceted person.

What do you mean?
It is not a standard Epic Spell (the ES rules are crap in my opinion), it is a true 10th level spell.
