Sondok with calm patient gesture. Her zeal unbroken in her duty. Chorgath had no time analyze essence patterns as he pushed all his focus on internal; as he pulled essence from his surroundings into him and then channeling and sculpting the essence while using words of power to hammer the energy into shape he wants it to before he releases the energy and lets it flow in pre-determined pattern which has been programmed by Creation to follow. Going through the formula with practiced calm.<br/><br/>When he nears to end of the incantation, he feels his body wracked with pain, in normal cases it would distract caster but trials to malfean sorcery are not weak minded nor spirit to do and go through to master malfean version of sorcery which channels pain into fury and through fury into raw power which lets spells unleashed to overwhelm opposition with crushing force meant to annihilate them!<br/><br/>So in twisted irony he channels Malfean excelency to his coming spell instead the more logical sounding she who lives by her name, as this is attack spell meant to bring end to this battle and so Chorgath plans bring the silent ending to this battle with overwhelming force! So his voice become pain wracked as he nears to end of his incantation and unleash pain in wrathful final words;<br/><br/><div align="center"><strong>"As thus I pledge to call upon my wrath unlimited upon thee!"</strong></div><br/>Upon those final words Sondok knows the spell is complete and she must now roll aside or behind Chorgath when the spell unleashes itself! Or else end into cross fire of Chorgath's spell. Chorgath knows Samaro is there, but he gave his warning to everyone and thus Samaro is responsible for his own demise if any from this spell. Chorgath feels surge of wrath and pain explode from him to behind him, onto the seeping vitriol leaking holes in air and from those holes explode vitriol dipped barbed sword blades which rip and tear the reality of Creation wider open seeping wound where neverending barrage of rending sword blades pour out towards the enemies in the very room front of him!<br/><br/>Chorgath did not know how long hounds obey Suicides, but the spell does not care, as the spell only views them as submitting to their doomed fates as blades tear, sink and explode through the hounds in brutal gory force and continue onward! The barbed blades tear flesh from the dark skinned humanoids, tearing weapons, armor, cloth, flesh, bones and skin all equal ease of vitriol tainted dark brass blades. They continue on towards day caste who leaned on the wall and with fierce thundering ringing force the blades start hammer onto the wall with rapid phase, a cacophony of deafening noise of blade hitting rock or blades ramming into other blades already before them while blades continue swarm towards from the ripped open wound on air behind Chorgath, blades passing past him and not harming him.<br/><br/>The whole structure shakes and groans as overwhelming barrage of blades which was meant to used on hundreds yards long zone is all squeezed and hammering into room suited for dinner guests and not armies. Blades hammering and attempting tear through very walls which restricts them and burst forth to next room beyond, to the next and to next and continue attempt drill through to passages until they would reach to outside and push towards shrieking winds outside of the building and despite rendered by wind the blades would continue with fierce force fly through while rending wind itself as they pass in single minded fury to cut and tear way through anything in it's path!<br/><br/>Eventually the room beyond the magma doors is no longer recognizable, filled every where was barbed bladed varied hilted and shaped sword blades which fill battlefield with lethal sort movement hazards everywhere. After cacophony of sound, there is deafening silence after spell ended and rupture behind Chorgath had suddenly vanished...or closed up.<br/><br/><div class="floatleft"><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Ok, go by basic description of the Obsidian Butterfly Swarm;<br/><br/>Basic distance; 30 yards wide, 10 yards tall and 100 yards long. Considering length of the spell it's valid reason assume the spell would attempt burrow through the walls and fill the room up quite nicely beyond it's usual wideness and height limit with dark brass vitriol blades. Everything less than stone is thoroughly destroyed, while it says stone is defaced but structurally unharmed but considering we are pushing 100 yards backed to something like 40 yard long room would mean it would have perhaps enough force to drill through (not enough all rooms but it depends where dining hall is located it may burst into outside and fly to outside winds the spell conjured blades itself).<br/><br/>Targets; When spell is launched Chorgath rolls Perception+Occult (gain auto sux equal to his essence) and all who are not behind a inch or more stone or behind several inches of wood are targeted. But as said again this spell is 50% more powerful and is backing pressure behind every blade in tight zone so it may pierce even inch of stone or more to get into targets.<br/><br/>Now, targets defend against attack of the spell as if it would be hand-to-hand attack which had success to hit equal what I rolled with above roll minus one per two dice forth of circumstance penalties to hit the target (so -4 circumstance penalty to accuracy dice = -2 to suxs rolled). Each blade's attack is independent, so anything what reduces the attack rolls to zero or reduce the suxs do not work vs the spell (this may be important keyword when checking can certain martial arts or charm help defend against the spell, I recall hungry ghost style has one such charm).<br/><br/>The damage is 12 + raw dmg per success past DV before soak is applied.<br/><br/>Now as we use mass combat unit it means in close combat formation they get <strong>double</strong> damage as usual from area effects. So this is simply devastating to the hounds and the dark humanoid minions. Also Day Caste gets targeted (assuming it's in attack zone of the spell) so it needs avoid the blades or use perfect to dodge the attack. Now after spell ends, the blades do not go away so whole battlefield (room) becomes difficult terrain filled with barbed sharp blades, moving in there is not recommended (may cause hazard dmg based on yards of movement in there automatically unless using perfect mobility/balance charms). Anyways Chorgath uses first Malfean excellency (5 dice, peripheral motes) to boost his perception+occult roll as he uses <em>overkill</em> approach against his enemies. Here comes the roll;<br/><br/>9+4 sux = 13 suxs vs DV (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=53168)<br/><br/>So, each sux past DV adds +1 dmg to above formula (and it's x2 vs mobs in close formation), so lots dmg coming in if it hits.<br/></div></div></div>
