Meteor Swarm

A meteor swarm is a very powerful and spectacular spell which is similar to the Fireball spell in many aspects. When it is cast, either four spheres of two-foot diameter or eight spheres of one-foot diameter spring from the outstretched hand of the wizard and streak in a straight line to the distance demanded by the spellcaster, up to the maximum range. Any creature in the straight-line path of missiles receives the full effect of the missile, or missiles, without benefit of a saving throw. The meteor missiles leave a fiery trail of sparks, and each bursts as a fireball. The large spheres inflict 10d4 points of damage. bursting in a diamond or box pattern. Each has a 30-foot diameter area of effect, and each sphere is 20 feet apart, along the sides of the pattern, so that there are overlapping areas of effect, and the center will be exposed to all four blasts. The eight spheres have one-half the diameter (15 feet) and one-half the damage potential (5d4). They burst in a pattern of a box within a diamond or vice versa, each of the outer sides 20 feet long. Note that the center has four areas of overlapping effect, and there are numerous peripheral areas that have two overlapping areas of effect. A saving throw for each area of effect will indicate whether full damage or half damage is sustained by creatures within each area, except as already stated with regard to the missiles impacting.
