You gather and condense pure energy of the natural world into your form before releasing a violent, cacophony of power manifesting as all of nature's most destructive forces.
For 1 turn, you gather energy from the surrounding area and fuel Escaton Judgement. During this turn, you may do nothing else (No movement, bonus actions, reactions, etc.). Upon your next turn release all of the gathered energy in a violent storm of nature's wrath. All creatures within a 90 foot radius sphere, centered on yourself, must make a CON Saving Throw (DC 26), or take 8d12+10 Fire, 8d12+10 Necrotic, 8d12+10 Lightning, 8d12+10 Cold, 8d12+10 Radiant damage and 16d12+20 Force damage. On a successful save, all damage is halved.
As the caster, you take half damage on a failed save and quarter damage on a successful save.
Any creatures killed by Escaton Judgement are unable to be revived by any methods other than through use of a True Resurrection or Wish spell.

Though it is powerful, this spell is but an imitation of the ultimate power of "The Blazing Black Dragon, Alatreon". They say that all things are unmade under the Escaton Judgement. I must say I can confirm that to be truth. I was once a part of a raid force that was tasked with driving off the Alatreon. One moment, the air was freezing, the next, our clothes caught fire from heat alone. The very act of existing near the abomination was painful and labored for us, while the beast did all of this passively. Once we got close enough, it attacked in ways I can't even begin to describe. Icicles charged with radiant energy, curtains of lightning, waves of oil that ignited alongside a fiery breath. It was a cacophony of nature's most destructive forces, and at the center? The Blazing Black Dragon, Alatreon.
One moment I heard one of the mages scream that we needed to move, that we had no chance of surviving whatever was coming next. Before I had the chance to protest, she had grabbed me and shoved us through a dimension door to the top of the cliff high above us. The next thing I knew, it was like the valley was suddenly swallowed by a raging sun. Me and the mage barely escaped but... I got to see. I watched the stragglers get caught in it... The rugged paladin scrambled with his farcaster an instant too long, and paid a heavy price. I saw the paladin. I watched his skin freeze solid, only to see it burst into a boiling mess a second later. I watched lightning erupt from his mouth as his eyes erupted in a radiant light. I watched his teeth and flesh rot. I can never forget his eyeballs exploding from the light and heat.
