Dheryth's Energy Globe
(Alteration, Evocation)

Range:  0
Components:  S, M
Duration:  Special
Casting Time:  3
Area of Effect:  Special
Saving Throw:  None

This spell requires a gem of not less than 50 gp each time it is cast. The gem's centre briefly becomes a minute gate to the positive material plane, and the energies thus released slowly eat away at the gem from the inside out. When the duration expires or the gem is broken, the gem explodes into a sphere of pure energy. The gem must be thrown at one's opponents to be effective (range: small: 1, medium: 2, large: 3). Inflicted damage is as follows:

	Distance to Gem
	Impact Place	Damage
	up to 2 feet	4 points per level of wizard
	2-5.9 feet	2 points per level of wizard
	6-10 feet	1 point per level of wizard

The gem is thrown as a stone for which the wizard has proficiency, and acts as a grenade-like missile if it misses its intended target. If the gem is thrown against someone or something (and hits), it will only break instantly if it fails a saving throw for ceramic versus normal blow (soft objects) or crushing blow (hard objects).
