Epic Spell
Epic Spellcasters begin to understand how magic really works. Through application of formidable intellect, vast wisdom, or sheer force of personality, a spellcaster can manipulate cosmic and personal energy directly. Epic spells are neither considered arcane, nor divine, thus all spellcasting classes capable of casting 9th level spells can learn how to cast them. Each epic spell known to a character can be cast only once per day. For a list and description of epic spells available in Hordes of the Underdark, please refer to your manual.

Also, if the target fails a reflex save (DC + 3) it gets knocked down (knockdown immunity bypassed) and deafened for 1 round. The 2nd explosion does 10d10 + caster level points of fire damage and 10d6 points of divine damage (fortitude save (DC + 3) halves the damage dealt) to all creatures that are still caught in the area of the explosion.
