How well a 9th level spell can devistate a large number of low level creatures is completly moot. Unless you're talking about how the extistance of such magic will affect the world at large, this is a non-issue, really (and a 4x enlarged cone of cold cast from an extreme height by a flying wizard is expetonaily more devistating to an army of low levels, anyway. Nevermind that it's a standard action to cast, or that as a full round action a sorcerer can do it again and again and again).Now, clearly the wording of the spell means that the effects 'stack' in the later rounds. "additional effects" means just that: additional effects. For instance: Acid fog "In addition to slowinf creatures down and obscuring sight .... the fog dealas 2d6 points of acid damage" clearly, both take effect. Likewise True Strike "Your next single attack roll gains a +20 insight bonus. Additionaly you are not affected by the miss chance..." Again, each casting of the spell grants both benifits, not just one or the other. Thus Storm of Vengence provides all of the previous effects on every round, otherwise it would be simply listed as "effects" not "additional effects".</blockquote>
