Volcano

is a Tier 7 Fire + Earth Path Spell.

The caster causes a volcano to erupt out of the ground centered at target location (even if the location is underwater). At base tier, the volcanic eruption spews ash and smoke easily the size of a thunderhead cloud (kilometers high and wide) and sending masses of superheated rock and lava into the air to rain down randomly over the surrounding area (mostly closer to the epicenter, but easily reaching up to over a kilometer away). The falling ash and soot will likely asphyxiate all life for miles around. If the targeted location is a mountain, it will likely blow the top off said mountain, leaving a gaping lava caldera hundreds of meters wide and causing massive lava flows down a good portion of the mountainside in a single cataclysmic event. If the targeted location is relatively flat ground, it will likely cause the formation of a new volcano, with continuous eruptions over the course of several months, each adding additional layers of lava which will form the volcanic cone the size of a mountain. The required investment into this spell is substantial, and may take hours to cast.
