So was wondering, with there so few stellar spells. . . . . and us not really utilizing all that is in the great vast space around our world. . . . . perhaps we can get the ability to summon a big ole hunk of space debris to some hurtling down on our foe. Id ask for a shower of them. . . but thats trodding on warmage feet I think being aoe and all. Actually, Id really prefer the ability with mass amounts of primary and targetting to be able to tkt one outta orbit. . . . hmmmm. . . . . anyways, Im just dreaming here but think it'd be neat if we had some control of the heavens.

Find something that is called "a meteor" or "a comet", drop it on the ground and cast telekinetic storm. Then the little toy meteor or whatever, will look like meteors crushing your friends/foes. Except the meteor will be "lifts off the ground"... Ok bad idea, but that's as close as we'll probably get to a meteor spell.

Hah. You read questionable content! cool.

oh, and um...dont' clerics have a meteor summony spell thingy?

Not to be confused with TKS ... the storm of missing (well, with at level creatures). =)

The shard known as Dor'na'torna has not been ritually named, making travel through it impossibly dangerous.

Well, lets try to take this unrealistic, overpowered idea, and make something workable out of it, shall we?

Name: Tears of Grazhir
Requirements: Starlight Sphere
Book: Stellar Magic

The single most important event in the history of Lunar Magic was the devistating destruction of Grazhir. It was both a great blow to the scope of our power, and a great boon in modern years as Moon Mages have learned to tap into the power that Grazhir still commands. This spell utilizes the memory of that cataclysmic moment, and reminds us all of what little power we have, on the grandest scale. Similar to the secrets of the Starlight Sphere, this spell focuses starlight and moonlight into a physical manifestation of one of the fabled shards of Grazhir as it plumeted toward Elanthia, though on a drasticly smaller scale. The Tear of Grazhir appears in the sky above and plunges downward at a rapid velocity until it nearly strikes ground, at which point it disperses without a trace. The presence of the effigy provides a very short but very potent boost to the Lunar Mana in the immediate area. The mana surge is unfortunately so intense that Lunar spells cast during the window of opportunity become uncontrolable, completely draining the attunement of the caster, irregardless of the intended ammount of mana focused into the spell pattern.
Despite the metaphysical effects of the spell however, the ghostly image of Grazhir's shard is quite physical for the moment it exists. Mages of a less scholarly mind have thereby learned to focus the Tear to fall in a very specific location, causing massive damage to anything (or anyone) happening to occupy that space.

"Coming up with ideas for overpowered, unrealistic spells is one of the things Moon Mages are really good at. Sometimes interesting discussions follow."

That or suggesting reasonable spells but through a conditioned understanding that we can never have anything that can't badly harm us, we overload the spell with more "down sides" than "Up sides."

I strongly belive that If seer's sense had been suggested by a player, you would receive a penalty to parry and or shield to get the evasion boost.

There's a downside to being a moon mage? Hah! I don't believe that. We're inherently better then any other guild at everything mind you, and don't let those other guilds forget it.

<<In this case, what would be the purpose of the spell?>>

No idea. I was just trying to take an idea already posted and make it more appropriate for a Moon Mage. <shrug> As for the mana overload, it was really a device to create limitations for the spell. If used as a non-combat spell, it allows you one really, really nice cast. (Not that big a deal, really.) If used in combat however, the power surge presents a new, strategical choice to be made. You have one chance at a very effective attack spell, but it will leave you vulnerable. You could likewise choose not to cast anything during the surge, which will conserve mana for further attacks, but will require you to rely on your mundane defenses for a moment.

Now if you want a purpose, how about this one?
Make the spell an AOE spell, doing damage to the head, neck, arms and torso of anyone who is standing, the head and neck of anyone who is kneeling or sitting, and no damage to anyone who is lying down. (Because the Tear will disappear before impacting those who are close to the ground. Now it serves a purpose. It's a good MM AOE spell.

I also will admit that spells I suggest tend to have noticable negative effects. This is likely because I am often concerned that too many spells are suggested that have astonishing effects that are drasticly unbalancing. Therefore I add a down side to make the spell potent, but not Godly. I more than likely make the flaws too damaging however, so any idea I have will usually need to be tweaked up before it could become an actuality.

Outdoors only, with a delay on the arrival of the meteor fragment. Random meteor size depending on mana used?
Sounding like it would basically be Burn since its Death From Above, but with flashier descriptions maybe.

Although a massive meteor completely smashing a foe would be quite interesting to see.
