Lya d’Ambreville and Lya’s Dazzling Explosive Strike
by AozLya d’Ambreville, a 16-year-old female, 3rd level wizard of the prestigious House of Sylaire, has spent her life weighed down by the towering expectations of her family. While her relatives are renowned for their magical brilliance, she has always struggled to match their grandeur. Her spells, though competent, lack the dramatic flair of her ancestors, and her academic performance at the Great School of Magic, while respectable, has never turned heads.
She hired Quorin Thale a freshman to help her with the spell research that created her over the top spell. Her family told her "To Go Big or Come Home." The spell is a hit with younger wizards!!
Lya’s Dazzling Explosive Strike
1st level spell
School: Illusion
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
The Spellcaster conjures a dazzling explosion of arcane energy, swirling with intricate magic circles before bursting into a radiant display. The illusion fools the senses, appearing devastating but carrying no true physical force but a loud boom with glowing embers. The target must make an Intelligence saving throw (or for older editions Save vs Spell).
On a failed save, they take 10 psychic damage, believing the magic to be real.
On a successful save, they recognize the illusion but experience a brief mental strain, taking 1 psychic damage.
The explosion leaves glowing embers lingering for 1 round, casting dim light in a 10-foot radius. The spell creates a thunderous boom, audible up to 300 feet, potentially attracting unwanted attention.
