This powerful spell is used against undead and Negative Material Plane creatures. When the spell is cast, the priest draws upon energy from the Positive Material Plane, creating a bolt of blazing energy from the priest's fingertip to smite the target creature.

An undead creature must make a successful saving throw vs. spell or be instantly disrupted and completely destroyed. An undead creature that saves takes 2d8 points of damage.

A creature from the Lower Planes takes 6d8 points of damage (save vs. spell for half damage). The spell has no effect on creatures of demipower status or greater.

The material components are the priest's holy symbol and a powdered sunstone of not less than 500 gp value.

Notes: Very rare spell. Known to be in the Demonomicon of Iggwilv (WoG).
