Melting stone mountains so it flows into a valley and buries and cooks the army beneath. The ritual of taking is described as torture, gruesome death, resurrection... repeat dozens of times as necessary until happy with the result.Actually, the magic flung by The Taken, The Eighteen, Bomanz, The Lady, The Dominator, and Old Father Tree is much more accurately described as epic, rather than just high level.</blockquote>
