Implosion
The caster creates a vortex of destruction that tears asunder all living things with pure damage within its area of effect, reducing their Hit Points to 1d4 unless they make their saving throw.

How it works
- Everyone within 3.33 metres first gets a 50% movement speed decrease for 1 round (6 seconds). The save against the implosion itself is against your normal spell DC +1.
- It does not kill outright: the target is left on 1-4 hit points, whatever it had before.
- The save is Fortitude, and spell resistance stops it.
