Posted Apr 24, 2025The AoE on this spell isn't big...it's god damned enormous. It's triple the size of a Fireball. There is no room in just about any dungeon that this spell wouldn't completely cover. It would have to be over 120ft wall-to-wall for this spell to not hit literally everything in the radius. Main problem with it hitting everything in the room is that it's almost certainly going to hit you and your allies as well unless the room so large that the back wall is further than 60ft away so you can simply target that.
Also, it doesn't consume its material component. You still can't substitute the component with a focus, but once you get that 500gp pearl powder, it's fair game for as many times as you want to use it.
