Message: <blockquote data-quote="jgsugden" data-source="post: 7417127" data-attributes="member: 2629">If you're flying and there are 26 creatures around you (9 above, 9 below, 8 around) this spell could do 52d6 at level 6!!!!!  And if you're large that could be 88d6!  Clearly, that beats Meteor Swarm, right?On a more realistic note: This can be a useful cantrip if you roll good damage and are fighting a lot of enemies, especially weak ones, but it is not something most players would even choose for a cantrip. I still wish there were more 'multi-target' cantrip in 5E.  Things like:* Target up to 4 creatures in 60 - does d4/tier to each.* Does d6/tier to up to two enemies within 60' that are adjacent.* Creates difficult terrain for 1 round in a 10' radius within 60'.* Pushes creatures in a 30' line on a failed save (but deals no damage).  * Creatures in a 10' radius within 60' must make a con save or gain (vulnerable 2 (take 2 additional damage))  for a round.* Create fog (total concealment) in a 2 by 2 area that lasts for 1 round.* Targets two adjacent creatures - if both fail a save, they can't voluntarily move away from each other for a round.* Knocks enemies in a 10' by 10' area prone if they fail a saving throw (short range, flyers immune).</blockquote>
