Torvald's Nexus Overflow is an ancient spell dating back to the Netheril. Torvald the Trickster devised a unique spell to protect his treasures from thieves and the like, many fell prey to the clever design and alluring details of Torvald's masterpiece.
When casting the Nexus Overflow the caster must touch the clear gemstone they wish to imprint the spell upon, once the caster has imprinted the spell to the crystal, the crystal glows with a light the colour of itself, casting dim light in a radius of 5ft around it. The gem will then act as an explosive, if touched by anyone but the caster the spell will instantly trigger, causing the crystal to violently explode, dealing 2d10 explosive damage to anyone within 10ft of the origin, anyone within the radius must make a CON saving throw or take full damage. The gem will also explode if it takes anything over 1 point of damage, giving it usage as an impact grenade. The caster of the spell may also give other beings permission to handle the explosive gem without it blowing up as soon as they touch it.
At the lowest level the spell can only affect small gemstones, at level 4 it can affect medium gemstones, at level 6 it can affect large gemstones and at level 9 it can affect gargantuan gemstones. Damage increases by 1d10 per spell level, along with light radius increasing by 5ft per spell level.
