Description

You reach into the cosmic core of reality and call forth the death of a star — shaping its collapse into a weapon.
From the sky descends a celestial spear of pure gravity and light, blazing with divine fury. The atmosphere howls, gravity bends, and sound itself distorts as a newborn neutron star core begins to form at your target point.

Every creature and object within a 1,000-foot radius feels the pull of the singularity.

🌌 Stage 1 – Heavenspear Impact

A colossal beam of radiant and gravitational energy spears down from orbit.
Each creature within 1,000 ft of the impact point must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC 22).

• Failure: Takes 25d10 radiant damage + 25d10 force damage, and is knocked prone.

• Success: Takes half damage.

The blast obliterates most structures and vaporizes nonmagical material.
Magical terrain or objects of legendary quality must succeed on a DC 25 Strength save or be crushed to slag.

⚡ Stage 2 – Shattered Sanctum

The ground fractures as radiant fissures pulse outward in a 1-mile radius.
Gravity begins to invert — upward, inward, and then everywhere.

• All terrain becomes difficult terrain, rising and twisting.

• Each creature at the start of its turn must make a Strength saving throw (DC 22) or be pulled 100 ft toward the center of the spell, taking 10d10 bludgeoning damage from debris.

• Magical barriers and spells of 8th level or lower are instantly dispelled within this radius.

At the end of the round, the spear collapses into a molten black sphere the size of a building — pulsing with cosmic fury.

🌠 Stage 3 – Neutron Core Ignition

The collapsing star begins to consume itself.
For the next 3 rounds, the area becomes a gravitational kill zone.

Every creature within 1,000 ft of the core must succeed on a Constitution saving throw (DC 23) or suffer one of the following per round:

☀️ Stage 4 – Genesis Collapse

When the spell ends (or concentration is broken), the core collapses completely, forming a miniature neutron singularity for 1d4 rounds.
During this time:

• All creatures within 1 mile must succeed on a DC 24 Strength save or be pulled 300 ft closer to the center at the start of their turn.

• Each round, creatures within 300 ft take 15d10 force damage and must succeed on a Constitution saving throw (DC 22) or be disintegrated.

Then — silence.
The gravity implodes, and a shockwave of anti-light bursts outward, dealing 20d10 force + 20d10 radiant damage to anything within 2 miles.
All survivors must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC 20) or gain 1 level of exhaustion from witnessing creation reborn through destruction.

💀 Aftermath

• The area becomes a dead zone for 1 year — time moves irregularly, gravity distorts, and light bends.

• A faint, spinning white ember remains at the center.

  • Touching it grants you advantage on one saving throw of your choice...

  • But you lose 1d10 years of lifespan as the cosmos takes its due.

✴️ At Higher Levels (Beyond 9th)

If cast using a Mythic or Divine Source (GM discretion), the spell’s radius and damage double, and the caster becomes a temporary gravitational anchor.
They float above the destruction, untouchable — but when the spell ends, they must succeed on a DC 25 Constitution saving throw or become part of the new star.
