With this spell, the mage summons forth the remainder of his or
her magical power into a single blast of energy in an attempt to
overwhelm their opponent.  Consequently, this spell leaves the
mage with ZERO spell points, but the damage dealt is based upon
the reserves the mage had at the time of casting.

As this is essentially a death blow, the caster is unconcerned about
his personal safety and thus not subject to intimidation.
 
Like blast, this spell is elemental in nature and will use the same
basic damage type as that spell.
 
WARNING:  Casting this spell is extremely taxing upon the mage and
          will result in a period of helplessness during which the 
          caster can do very little beyond wonder and collect his
          or her thoughts.
 
This spell cannot be cast quietly.
