And unlike, say, Meteor Swarm or Prismatic Wall, it can be cast in a narrow space (the former) and while drawing considerably less attention (both), making it rather tactical*. Sure, a combination of other spells, feats and skill sets can work together to bust out great chunks of damage, but these typically take either more effort/draw more attention/require more space to work with. A single word to potentially drop a weaker target or finish a wounded one is rather convenient. And also, kinda cool. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" />*And with no save, the caster can at least rely on it, though to what extent does require how HPs are communicated - is a save better than damage tracking/meta gaming a monsters current hit point total? Eh.. pros and cons of both.</blockquote>
