THERMONUCLEAR HOLOCAUST

THERMONUCLEAR HOLOCAUST

Level:     M30                           Cost:      150 mana
Target:    one room                      When:      non-combat
Delay:     one combat round              Duration:  instantaneous

Effect:    Thermonuclear holocaust inflicts massive amounts of nuclear damage
to every ungrouped monster in the room.  It is the most
powerful offensive magic available, even to immortals, but by
its very nature it is extremely dangerous for both the caster
and his or her companions.  This spell automatically uses any
mana beyond the initial 150 to create a shield.  If the shield
collapses, the caster (and any party members) suffer.  There
is a chance of permanent death from any instance where a
shield collapses.

Usage:  cast 'thermonuclear holocaust'
