Her metamagic versatility is very high – the large numbers of sorcerer slots also act as a sink to metamagick prepared lower-level wizard spells through the augmented casting special ability, and the Improved Metamagic epic feat adds even more flexibility. Expanded spell knowledge provides a number of spontaneous attack and utility spells. Mulissu's original spell collection was lost when her pocket paradise was overrun by demons; subsequently, the savant gained access to Jovol's coveted hidden cache of spellbooks.Against a single electricity-vulnerable target, Mulissu can burn all of her prepared 10th-level spells to deal 96d6 points of damage in 1 round, no save – which ain't too shabby. Most of her other higher level slots see more utilitarian spells, whilst her main armamentarium is based around electrically-substituted empowered orbs of acid which can be freely admixed, maximized or quickened by burning sorcerer slots. When magically outfitted for battle with the epic buffs metallection and sublime mind in effect, and with a mantle of egregious might the Save DCs against Mulissu's spells rise to 44+ spell level (more for electrical evocations, although finger of death, implosion and dominate monster start to look very attractive). Epic attack spells (holocaust of lightning, glance of thunder) are very XP and backlash intensive, and reserved for extreme situations.Mulissu uses a tweaked Creature Catalogue sylph as the base, as the MMII version is kind of screwy – this lends to an unusual type/subtype combination when her elemental perfection is applied. Retained her original modest 58-point buy (cough). +5 inherent bonuses. Mulissu is 'legal' in the sense that epic spell development costs are set against her equipment value total (as an ECL35 PC), but XP costs for development would otherwise place Mulissu several ECLs higher. Included in her inventory are items retrieved from Iua and one subsequently crafted; her sapphire and ring have been upgraded to epic legacy-item status (sapphire costed at around 1.0M gold). As usual, multiple buff effects are folded into relatively few items. Mulissu's SR is figured as HD+18, as per CC sylph. She's a solid CR35.MulissuDespotrix of FumarilFemale Sylph Evoker 7 / Air Savant 10 / Ultimate Magus 10; NG Medium Elemental (Augmented Fey, Air); Hit Dice 3d6+18 plus 27d4+162; hp 256; Spd 30 ft.; fly 130 ft.

The level of the spell or spell-slot sacrificed must equal or exceed the level of the metamagic enhancement; only spells of 5th-level or lower can be augmented by this ability. Mulissu can apply the benefit of any metamagic feat she knows in this way. She may use this ability 8 times per day.Elemental Type: Mulissu does not need to sleep, eat or breathe.

(this is an enhancement bonus). (290K, CL 20th).Resilient Pebble: This unassuming, mottled grey rock is set in iron and occupies the amulet slot. It provides a +5 resistance bonus to all saving throws, a +5 natural armor bonus and a +5 deflection bonus to armor class (160K, CL 20th)Sapphire of Mutable Coruscations: This perfectly spherical gemstone is the size of a walnut, and can be seen to swirl with all shades of blue, yellow and white. Mulissu has unlocked many of its secrets - she typically wears the sapphire around her neck on an adamantine chain, although the stone itself occupies no item slot.The sapphire grants its owner a +8 enhancement bonus to Intelligence, and allows him or her to summon an air elemental monolith of maximum hit points once per day. The elemental serves unfailingly for a period of one hour. The owner of the sapphire of mutable coruscations can also channel stored spell energy and use the sapphire to spontaneously cast any of the following spells: prismatic aura, prismatic bow, prismatic deluge, prismatic eye, prismatic mist, prismatic ray, prismatic sphere, prismatic spray, prismatic wall; either a prepared spell or an unused slot may be channelled into the sapphire of mutable coruscations in this fashion. (CL20th, 1M) Circlet of the Tyrant: Fashioned by Mulissu after her ascension to power in Fumaril, this narrow gold band bestows a +6 enhancement bonus to the wearer's Wisdom and Charisma and grants a +20 competence bonus to all Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate and Sense Motive skill checks (200K, CL20th)  Unique Nonepic SpellsPassage of LightningConjuration (Teleportation) [Electricity]Level: 8Components: VCasting Time: 1 standard actionRange: Personal and touchTarget: You and touched objects or other touched willing creaturesDuration: InstantaneousSaving Throw: None and Will negates (object)Spell Resistance: No and Yes (object)You and up to one other creature per three caster levels are borne by a discharge of magical lightning to a location with which you have at least passing familiarity: you must have scried the target area or visited it at least once. The destination point may be on any plane. The passage of lightning seeks out interstices between planes, and is not subject to effects which specifically target astral movement; it is, however, subject to spells which otherwise block interplanar travel such as dimension lock and forbiddance. An atmosphere of some kind must be present at both the departure and destination points to successfully cast a passage of lightning.You, and creatures whom you bring with you may carry gear which does not exceed maximum load. Large creatures count as two additional creatures, Huge creatures as four additional creatures etc. for purposes of this spell.Instantaneous Elemental TempestConjuration (Summoning) [Air]Level: Sor/Wiz 9Components: V,SCasting Time: 1 standard actionRange: One mile; see textEffect: A one mile radius sphere centered on you, a 20 ft./level radius sphere centred on you, and a 20 ft. radius sphere centred on you; see textDuration: Concentration (maximum 4 rounds)Saving Throw: See textSpell Resistance: Yes; see textThis spell creates a potent zone of magical cyclonic activity with a radius of one mile centred on the caster. Three distinct regions exist within the elemental tempest, and the power of the spell increases towards the centre.•  The tertiary zone, which extends out to the full one mile limit, is characterized by hurricane-force winds which render normal missile attacks useless and cause siege weapons to incur a penalty of –8 on attack rolls. Medium-sized or smaller creatures are blown away, large creatures are knocked down and huge creatures are checked unless they succeed at a Fortitude saving throw.•  The secondary zone extends up to 20ft. per caster level, and is characterized by all of the above effects; in addition, the seconday zone is shot through by lightning. Every round that a creature stays within the secondary zone, he or she is 50% likely to be struck by lightning and suffer 1d6 dice of damage (d6s). A successful Reflex save halves the amount of damage sustained•  The primary zone, with a radius of 20ft., is an area of intense electromagnetic activity, and is characterized by plasma vortices, unusual lightning phenomena, and bizarre atmospheric conditions. Conditions in the tertiary and secondary zones do not prevail within the primary zone, but creatures within this area automatically sustain 1d8 points of electrical damage +1 point per caster level (max +25) every round, with no saving throw allowed.Epic SpellsDispelling BlastAbjurationSpellcraft DC: 75Components: V, SCasting Time: 1 standard actionRange: 300 ft.Area: 100-ft. radius burstDuration: InstantaneousSaving Throw: NoneSpell Resistance: NoTo Develop: 675,000 gp; 14 days; 27,000 XP.

When Ha'uh manifests, its spell resistance automatically increases to 62; attempts to dispel Ha'uh treat Mulissu as a 47th-level caster. The spell requires the participation of 21 other spellcasters of various power and abilityHa'uh appears where Mulissu designates and acts immediately on her turn. It attacks any enemies or performs other actions to the best of its ability.

The perimeter is experienced as a wind of impenetrable density: this is actually a [force] effect equivalent to a wall of force. The area within the sphere is subject to a dimensional lock (as quiescence of the spheres). Upon casting, Mulissu and up to five other targets designated by her are not subject to the spell and freely pass into and through the warded area, either physically or through teleportation or similar effect. Mulissu also designates a single 20-ft. radius 'hole' within the paling which is not subject to the dimensional bar. This area can be closed with a nonepic dimensional lock or opened, as the needs of Mulissu dictate. When open, entities can be conjured into the 'hole' and gates opened there.Mulissu's paling, in whole or in part, is not subject to disintegrate or mage's disjunction. Epic spells incorporating the dispel or destroy seeds treat Mulissu as a 77th-level caster for purposes of opposed checks. Mulissu's paling must be renewed every 100 hours. Mulissu suffers a -15 penalty on her Spellcraft check to cast this spell, as it contains seeds from the Abjuration school.Sublime MindTransmutationSpellcraft DC: 75Components: V, SCasting Time: 1 minuteTarget: YouDuration: 20 hoursTo Develop: 675,000 gp; 14 days; 27,000 XP.
