Mitigating Factors: 22d6 backlash (-22 DC).To Develop: 2,070,000 gp; 42 days; 82,800 XP.The caster calls up a wave of power that bursts forth as fire and lightning. This effect deals 25d20 fire damage and 25d20 electricity damage (avg. 262 damage each) to all in the radius of effect. A moment later, a primal fire elemental appears in the center of the effect. It acts immediately, on the character’s turn. It attacks the character’s opponents to the best of its ability. If the character can communicate with the elemental, he or she can direct it not to attack, to attack particular enemies, or to perform other actions. The summoned elemental acts normally on the last round of the spell and disappears at the end of its turn.The raw power of this spell inflicts 22d6 backlash on the caster.<h2></h2>New Epic Spell: RoutEnchantment (Compulsion) [Fear, Mind-Affecting]Spellcraft DC: 64Components: V, SCasting Time: 1 standard actionRange: 600 ft.Area: 200-foot coneDuration: 20 minutesSaving Throw: Will negatesSpell Resistance: YesTo Develop: 576,000 gp; 12 days; 23,040 XP.

Mitigating Factors: 12d6 backlash (-12 DC).An acidblast explodes with a shattering blast of thunder and a devastating rain of acid. A stormblast deals 10d20 points of acid damage (avg. 105) and 10d20 points of sonic damage (avg. 105) to all creatures within the area. Unattended objects also take this damage. The character takes 12d6 points of damage (avg. 42) upon casting. The character points his or her finger and determine the range (distance and height) at which the acidblast is to detonate. A fist-sized ball of thundering acid streaks forth and, unless it impacts a material body or solid barrier prior to attaining the indicated range, expands into its full area.NOTE: This one was specifically designed as a better version of the ELH hellball epic spell. Same DC; replaces the XP cost with 2d6 backlash; significantly higher average damage (210 for 20d20 vs. 140 for 40d6); and no easily-resisted/commonly-immune fire damage.New Epic Spell: Death Given FormNecromancySpellcraft DC: 51Components: V, SCasting Time: 1 minuteRange: TouchTarget: Two corpses touchedDuration: InstantaneousSaving Throw: NoneSpell Resistance: NoTo Develop: 459,000 gp; 10 days; 20,400 XP.Seed: animate dead (DC 23).
