For those of you that dont know, it does 2d20 damage to ALL non demons in a radius of 25 ft +5ft/2lvls including yourself reflex half. Our party are assassins, and we were to kill an orc cleric, so instead of going through his 250 orc army, we went through the mountains and just got to the lair. After a few round, the army shows up. Our beguiler casts a spell, i think "Silent setinel" anyway, it stopped the enemy from going up the pass to get to us. so, i notice the spell wont last long, and i sprout wings (Vermin Lord spec ability) and i fly out into the mist of the orc army. Theyre throwing javelins and arrows at me, but i get far enough from my allies I unleash Dance of Ruin. My radius is 40 ft. in 5ft incriments, my radius is 8. the area of a circle, pi R [Squared] equates to roughly 180 dead orcs (23 damage, 11 half) i single handedly scared the **** out of the enemy (intimidate check) and they flee. Our part earned 27,000 XP from that one spell alone. i was brought down to just 2 HP barely alive Our new tactic will be to cast greater invisibility on myself, and have me run into the enemy base and blow myself up. Essentially, my character will become a suicide bomber Bobo

However, since you can't get gain more than one level from a single encounter regardless of the amount of experience, by the time you are of a level to use that much experience, you won't be able to use this spell against your enemies and expect to remain standing.
