[QUOTE="Hammerhead, post: 297838, member: 73"] An 8th level spell can create a 6 HD mummy. A relatively easy epic spell can produce a pair of 18 HD mummies. That kind of jump in power seems too big for 1 spell level. And then there are effects like creating new creatures, or raising islands. Both of those effects seem beyond wish, but can be pretty easy if the right limitations are applied to epic spells. Epic Mage Armor provides a pretty hefty bonus to AC, and is pretty reasonable. While Ruin seems pretty junky compared to Meteor Swarm, it has super range. Assuming Most of these spells look pretty nice. They're expensive to research, but non-Epic spell research is pretty expensive too. The costs are high, but all the Epic prices are sky high. A weapon that both uses an epic weapon enhancement like Fiery Blast and an enhancement bonus large enough to defeat the relatively weak +6 DR costs almost 3 million. Crafting it would take about 1.5 million GP and 120 thousand XP. Getting anything useful requires a huge investment. [/QUOTE]
