| Draws upon the caster's own physical integrity to create a kinetic shockwave that damages foes in a large area. The caster is locked in place for several turns as the shockwave starts to form, and the spell will be cancelled if they are displaced during that time, but they may otherwise perform other actions freely. Spellpower causes the spell to complete more quickly, but the damage depends entirely upon the caster's AC. |
Fortress Blast is a level 6 Forgecraft spell which locks the user into place for a few turns, then creates a 5x5 explosion with damage based entirely on AC.

Useful Info
Locks you into place for 70 - 10*power/25 aut,[1] after which a 5x5 explosion centered on the caster occurs. You are allowed to do any action besides movement for the duration. If something displaces you during the channeling, e.g., an elephant tramples you, the fortress blast will dissipate harmlessly.
You aren't hurt by the explosion, and it deals 6d(4 + 3*[AC^1.343]/17) physical damage (max. 6d39 at 70 AC).[2][3] Notably, this means that the damage per AC ratio is non-linear, with each successive point of AC having a greater effect than the last.
Strategy
Not being able to retreat is quite dangerous in Crawl, so this spell should not be used lightly - try to lure enemies into a known, cleared out area first. This also helps mitigate this spell's loud noise.
The spell is especially good for species that gain extra AC as they level up, like Gargoyles and Nagas.
