Big Nate 09-28-05, 09:00 AM	the only reason i mentioned it is because of it realativly low level and and its gigantic area. it there another spell that can kill all 1 HD creatures in a 600' radius?

Actually, IIRC it can only do subdual damage, so you won't actually kill anyone. You can render them unconscious for several days, though.
