This spell was designed as a last line of defense by Celestarion for use when all else failed. It is nothing less than a 9th-level blast of totally destructive energy. Upon casting, the following things happen, in the sequence given.
1.	A blast of scintillating energy erupts from the wizard's hands and strikes the target.
2.	The target has to make a saving throw versus spell at -6. This spell also causes magic resistance rolls to be made at -30%.
3.	Failure of the saving throw totally disintegrates the target.
4.	Success of the saving throw means the target takes 10d20 points of damage and, if still alive, is stunned for 1d4 turns.
5.	The wizard, regardless of spell effects, automatically loses one level permanently, and must make a saving throw versus spell. Failure indicates instant death, with only a wish being able to bring him back. Success results in losing 1d100 of his remaining spell levels, randomly chosen, and being unconscious for 1d4 rounds.
The material component of this spell is an ioun stone, which is lost in the casting.
