[QUOTE="Riley37, post: 7617227, member: 6786839"] "One easy example is a 5th level empowered shatter spell (available to a 9th level sorcerer) which should deal roughly 32 damage." Shatter will destroy all the wagons in the area of effect. When you said "a street full of wagons", did you mean a street that's 40' long? Catapult can destroy a single wagon. Twinned Catapult can destroy two wagons (barring low damage roll). Did this 10'x40' street hit its maximum Wagon Capacity and become "full" at two wagons? Polymorph takes an action to cast, and at the end of that turn, zero wagons are destroyed; or one, if you did a Quickened Polymorph and then used an Action in beast form to smash one wagon. Same for Summon. Those might be faster than sustained Firebolt, but they're not single-round solutions. You repeated the one-round requirement in your reply: "how do you take out a bunch of carts in a round at medium or low levels (10 or less)." Perhaps the spell you seek is Xagyg's Moving Goalpost?
