//:: Spell Name Circle of Death
//:: Spell FileName SMP_S_CircleDeth
//:://////////////////////////////////////////////
//:: In Game Spell desctiption
//:://////////////////////////////////////////////
    Necromancy [Death]
    Level: Sor/Wiz 6
    Components: V, S, M
    Casting Time: 1 standard action
    Range: Medium (20M)
    Area: Several living creatures within a 13.33-M.-radius burst
    Duration: Instantaneous
    Saving Throw: Fortitude negates
    Spell Resistance: Yes

    A circle of death snuffs out the life force of living creatures, killing
    them instantly.

    The spell slays 1d4 HD worth of living creatures per caster level (maximum
    20d4). Creatures with the fewest HD are affected first; among creatures
    with equal HD, those who are closest to the burst’s point of origin are
    affected first. No creature of 9 or more HD can be affected, and Hit Dice
    that are not sufficient to affect a creature are wasted.

    Material Component: The powder of a crushed black pearl with a minimum
    value of 500 gp.
