Comet is a party friendly High-level class ability usable by mage and sorcerer classes.

Description[]

This spell is a more powerful and specialized version of Meteor Swarm. A huge meteor or comet strikes the earth, damaging all enemies in its path and sending out a powerful shockwave that knocks away all foes in the area of effect. Those knocked down must save vs. Paralysis or be stunned for 3 rounds. The comet itself does 10d10 fire damage with no save.
This spell will not harm party members.

Gameplay[]

The stunning part (in fact it's a Unconscious effect) and the knockback are considered nonmagical effects, meaning they ignore Magic resistance and can't be dispelled by Dispel/Remove Magic.

The Comet's internal effects are coded with level 9 Power level. The fire damage part, on the other hand, is magical and can be blocked by Magic Resistance.
