I guess a short comparison with the 3rd level Poison spell will show it is to strong. (Poison allows a saving throw...)Oh, speaking of stupid spells, I want to use this oppertunity to complain about the Orb of [Energy] line of spells. Why are they conjurations? I can see acid (because there are acid substances), but the rest is clearly an evocation, because it creates energy out of nowhere (especially the Force Orbs)The only reason they created them is because they wanted a higher level no-spell-resistance attack spell, similar to Melfs Acid Arrow, but seem to completely miss the point of the distinction between conjuration and evocation.  I mean, as a player I should be eager to exploit them (especially since there are few damage-dealing spells that can be used against single targets effectively and can be used to attack magic-immune monsters like Constructs), but it is simply to much for my taste..Ahem. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
