The Kimberlite Pipe has two effects:
Eruption: The ground within the spell's area erupts in a violent explosion, dealing 1d8 points of heat damage per caster level (maximum 20d8) to all creatures and structures within the area. A successful reflex save halves this damage. The eruption also creates difficult terrain within the area, as the ground becomes covered in rocks, debris, and diamond shards.
Diamond Vortex: The diamond shards expelled during the eruption coalesce into a swirling vortex that remains in the area for 1 round per caster level. Creatures that start their turn within the vortex or enter it for the first time on their turn take 10d6 points of slashing damage. A successful reflex save halves this damage. Spell resistance does apply to this effect of the spell.
The vortex is also a powerful barrier against magical effects. Any spell or spell-like ability with a point of origin or an effect that passes through the vortex has a 50% chance of being nullified. This effect applies to all spells and spell-like abilities, regardless of their caster level or school.
When the spell's duration ends, the diamond vortex collapses, leaving behind the difficult terrain created by the eruption.
VTT Macro Description:
@{character_name} triggers the rapid intrusion of kimberlite in the ground. In a matter of seconds the ground quakes then
erupts onto the surface, dealing [[[[{@{cl},20}kl1]]d8+([[{@{cl},20}kl1]]*@{spell_prof})]] heat damage to all targets in
the area of effect, Reflex for half. The ground at the eruption will be considered difficult terrain.
For @{cl} rounds, a diamond vortex fills the affected area and gives all spells and spell-like abilities a 50% failure rate.
Subjects in this area take [[10d6+(10*@{spell_prof})]] slashing damage each round on the caster's turn, Reflex for half.
VTT Number of Dice formula: 20
