"Lo, I call unto thee, the Gem Kings who rule over the Black Sky, and yet who fall under my Domain of Eternity. I who walk the Space between Worlds Command you to obey! You who stand at the pinnacle, I find myself disappointed in thee! How long will you blindly look down upon the world, as those who look up to you suffer?! Rouse yourselves, burn brighter in disgust at your own negligence; Shine further in rage at the suffering brought upon the weak! In the name of the Heavens: Burn across the sky with the Holy light that gives life in the day, and Beauty in the Night, while the Great King that wakes in the east, sleeps in the West, and his Bride Illuminates the Darkness in his stead!. Let the brightest among you crash upon those that would dare stand against Heaven, so that your brilliance may turn all impurities to ashes!"
Effect
The ultimate endgame of this Ancient magic is to unleash the might of a falling star upon one's opponent, be they a single individual, or a whole nation's army.
Manifestation
Once invoked, the sky is filled with countless shooting stars, before a single star descends upon the chosen target.
Source
The real source of power for this spell, along with the other edict's remains a mystery, as to use any of the ancient magics requires a significant expenditure of resources. However, Scholars have recently formulated a theory that these spells are meant for a particular person to wield, rather than any one group.
Discovery
Most of the history of this spell was lost in the aftermath of the Judgment War and Heaven's Fall, with scholars only recently beginning to find ties between the spell and the Ancient and lost god Matis, who presides over Order and Balance. Some scholars even speculate that it was this particular edict that ended the Judgment War, and others even whisper that it was the Ancient House of Gray that invoked it. What ever the truth is, only time will tell...
