Meteor Swarm is arguably the most destructive of all spells and causes a room and adjacent rooms to hit a storm of flaming meteors. The target(s) initially sustain hitpoint damage followed immediately by impact and then fire critical injuries. No one, including the caster, is safe from this spell's destruction.

Once cast, there is build-up time of approximately 20 seconds before the onslaught begins. The spell's effects will continue for several minutes before dissipating.

It is advisable to highlight the phrase "arms skyward!" and then run away from the area quickly if you see it from a wizard. Also, "A low roar of quickly parting air can be heard above!" should alert anyone that they need to seek shelter immediately.

This spell is slated for review/replacement.
