### Spell description

When this spell is cast, an intense blue beam streaks from the caster's hand, and it's target suffers 1d8 points of damage/lvl of caster (max 10d8) and the target can save for 1/2 damage. If the save is failed then the target must roll another save vs. death magic, or a 12" hole is blown through a randomly determined body part. A blow to the head or torso will kill a man sized or smaller victim, and will do an additional 4d10 points to a larger creature. A blow to an appendage will sever the appendage, unless the creature is huge or greater, and in that case they take 2d10 points of damage. This spell will do damage to siegeworks equal to a large sized catapault or a bombard blast.
