Ravenous Void Spell in The Extended Perkinsverse | World Anvil

Ravenous Void

This is a spell capable of routing entire armies or wiping out small cities. The range of this spell is 1000 ft. and has an effective diameter of a 200 ft. sphere with a volume of 4,188,790 cubic feet. If this spell is cast at a point in the air it pulls matter towards it, suspends it in the air and restrains creatures until it is completely obliterated or the spell ends. This is a 9th-Level Spell capable of changing the world permanently. The combat applications of this spell are obvious but this spell can win entire wars if used properly. Use this spell to drain bodies of water, consume entire fields of crops and livestock and rip small forests from the ground. Attacking infrastructure and recourses is just as devastating as attacking the military forces of your enemies. If you need to eliminate a large amount of terrain or objects in spectacular fashion then I can't think of a better spell for the job.

Effect

You create a 20-foot-radius sphere of destructive gravitation force centered on a point you can see within range. For the spell's duration, the sphere and any space within 100 feet of it are difficult terrain, and nonmagical objects fully inside the sphere are destroyed if they aren't being worn or carried.

When the sphere appears and at the start of each of your turns until the spell ends, unsecured objects within 100 feet of the sphere are pulled toward the sphere's center, ending in an unoccupied space as close to the center as possible.

  A creature that starts its turn within 100 feet of the sphere must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pulled straight toward the sphere's center, ending in an unoccupied space as close to the center as possible. A creature that enters the sphere for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there takes 5d10 force damage and is restrained until it is no longer in the sphere. If the sphere is in the air, the restrained creature hovers inside the sphere. A creature can use its action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC, ending this restrained condition on itself or another creature in the sphere that it can reach. A creature reduced to 0 hit points by this spell is annihilated, along with any nonmagical items it is wearing or carrying.

Manifestation

You summon a well of gravity so dense that is sucks all matter in 100 feet into itself and annihilates it utterly. This sphere is not black and can be seen through.

Source

The power for this spell is pulled from The Weave.
“My soul is a black maelstrom, a great madness spinning about a vacuum, the swirling of a vast ocean around a hole in the void, and in the waters, more like whirlwinds than waters, float images of all I ever saw or heard in the world: houses, faces, books, boxes, snatches of music and fragments of voices, all caught up in a sinister, bottomless whirlpool.”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
