Looking for a spell. EDIT--Moon-Lancer is da man!

[Felon]

I was looking through all my various spellbooks for ways to trick out my evoker. One direct damage spell caught my eye because instead of the number of dice improving with caster level (as is the case with most spells), it's the type of dice improves. If I recall correctly, at 3rd level it does d4's, at 5th it goes to d6's, at 7th it goes to d8's, and at 9th it does d10's. I can't recall how many dice it was.

Unfortunately, I mistakenly jotted it down as Scorch (from the Spell Compendium). The real spell is probably in there as well, although it could also be form Complete Mage or PHB II. I think it was 2nd or 3rd level.

Sound familiar to anyone?

From the mechanics, that sounded like something out of PHB2. Nothing fit in the quick descriptions for 2nd or 3rd level spells, so I started scanning entries. Check out channeled pyroburst (4th level duskblade/wizard/sorcerer, page 106)


Casting time determines damage- swift for d4s, standard for d6s, full round for d8s, 2 rounds for d10s; the area of effect also increases with casting time.

No no, sorry I should have pointed out that it's not one of the "channeled" spells. The number of dice imporve based purely on caster level.

Still looking.

i saw something like that in spell compendium. I think it was a color pattern spell.

ah ha!

Rainbow Blast (sounds like an attack in a cartoon from the 80s)
page 165 spell compendium.

Its a level 3 spell that does all the elements in a single blast. it starts out as 1d6 points of damage for every element (5), and slowly increases in damage die 1d12 at level at level 11, so really 5d12.
