This spell causes matter to vanish. It affects even matter (or energy) of a magical nature such as a wall of force. Disintegration is instantaneous, and its effects are permanent. Any single creature can be affected, even undead. Nonliving matter, up to a 10-foot x 10-foot x 10-foot cube, can be obliterated by the spell. The spell creates a thin, green ray that causes physical material touched to glow and vanish, leaving traces of fine dust. Creatures that successfully save vs. magic have avoided the ray (material items have resisted the magic) and are not affected. Only the first creature or object struck can be affected. |
