| 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 the user into place for 70 - 10*power/25 aut,[1] after which a 5x5 explosion centered on the caster happens. The caster is 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.
The caster isn't hurt by the explosion, and it deals 6d(4 + 3*[AC^1.343]/17 physical damage.[2][3]
Strategy
The spell is especially good for species that gain extra AC as they level up, like Gargoyles and Nagas.
