Alisdair's Fundamental Breakdown (Arcana)
Level: Mage 3
Reflex partial. Mana: 3. Base Success: 90%.
Potions contain a complex synthesis of rare alchemical elements and potent, potentially destructive magical energies bound with precise skill into a stable configuration. Casting this spell induces entropy in that balance, causing the elements of a chosen potion to decompose and become unstable -- essentially turning it into a kind of magical grenade that the caster can throw at square within 60 feet of her. The potion explodes into a volumetric blast or flame and toxic smoke inflicting 1d6 points of damage per caster level, plus an added number of dice of damage based on the potency of the potion used. This causes half fire damage and half toxic damage to all creatures caught in the area; a Reflex save halves the damage.
