@@BertoxolusThePuzzled Alright, so let's just assume that a single meteor from the meteor swarm spell is the equivilant of a Tsar Bomb. This is the single largest nuclear weapon ever detonated with an explosive power of 58 megatons. This is 2.4 x 10^17 joules. A 5e meteor swarm deals 20d6 fire damage and 20d6 bludgeoning damage. So a total of 40d6 damage. Divide to show that 1d6 damage is equal to 6.1x10^15 joules, or just under one and a half megatons. So then, the sun emits 3.846x10^26 joules per second. This means that exposure to a full nicoll dyson beam, assuming perfect mirrors, inflicts 63,386,897,404d6 every second. However, a round is six seconds, so it is actually 380,321,384,425d6 per round. But let's assume this is a dexterity saving throw to take half damage. To ensure that a 20th level monk with the mobile feat is unable to escape the beam and thus lose his evasion, it must be at least 200 feet wide. Thus, the energy of the beam per square foot is 1/200^2 the energy of the entire beam, and I would consider a human standing upright to have a cross-section from the top of around 1/2 of a square foot. Thus, the monk would take 4,754,017d6 points of damage per round.

I like this

There is no telling what would have happened, but from what we know, choosing another god MIGHT have worked. I mean, other stuff could have gone wrong. But it seems the problem was that his actions made magic disappear entirely, which both messed up the floating city AND his own ability to retain the power of a god. Though to be honest, the disappearance of magic (even for less than a minute) should have left other massive impacts on the world. Probably killing a good chunk of magical creatures and undeads, collapsing planes, etc. Then again, magic is weird. I guess he only disrupted weave based magic and not shadow magic or other supernatural forces. Some things are better not be investigated too much, if you want things to make some sense. Anyway, some plotholes don't make the story less enjoyable :)

The thing is, I dont think its that he picked the wrong god, its that he didnt understand the true work of the gods. He picked the god of magic, who subconsciously fixed magic, and thus magic stopped. What if he had chosen a life/death god? Would he accidentally have killed all life, or raised all dead as an unfathomable undead horde? If he picked one of the gods in the blood war, would he have accidentally unleashed demons and devils on the material plane? To me, the folly here isnt that he chose the wrong god, its that he chose ANY god.

@@JKSSubstandard I mean even the weakest god if summoned to the material plain would probably been able to win the war, so picking even the weakest god to mantle so as to funnel their full power would have done it. Imagine what would have happened if he had chosen Primas, the god of order, to mantle.

@@alphapolimeris that is...kinda explained? God's are omnipresent and eternal. To the point that when a new god emerges and forms a domain, he retroactively emerges throughout all of history (i think there was some ocean or water based god as example). So even if Mystral ceased to exist for a minute, the emergence of Mystra retroactively connects to the exact point where the domain of magic went vacant. So magic existed, it just was very fucky for a bit. Especially since she took a while to fix the damage that had already been done. DnD gods just have a different way of existing and traversing time i guess. I guess it's the bit about empty domains fundamentally requiring a divine to rule over them, even if they have to draw them from the future or something stupid like that.

@@Nyghtking We already know what would happen, its happened once before when Orcus killed the previous Primus and took his place. It threw mechanus into disarray and led to a schism among the modrons with many leaving. In the power struggle, the competing leaders killed many gnomes and slaad attempting to wipe out chaos and earn the right to become the new Primus. Other gods and beings took the weakened state and invaded and occupied parts of the plane and remain there to this day.

It should stop at 13th level. If 12th level allows the complete supplantation of a god, a spell pushing the limits of this tier would possibly allow for the supplantation of an pantheon or several, and like the only known 12th level spell ever cast (to our knowledge), this would mean you'd be able to alter the fabric of and very existence of all that is and isn't within the spheres, and all universes contained therein the sphere or spheres in question. A spell breaking even this boundary would likely allow you to bend even the ethereal fluid outside the spheres to your will, dwarfing anything any being within the -known- multiverse could comprehend. You'd likely be a rival to some the greatest of Eldritch beings and unknowable monstrosities beyond known existence. The only thing more powerful than that would likely be simply becoming an omnipresent Gary Gigax and retconning DnD out of existence.

Well see, wish can only reliably duplicate 8th level or lower spells. My guess is that wish is a reward from Mystra to the best spell casters who reached that level. Allowing them, using a strong spell, to go beyond the confines of their own spell books and even their own minds, even if only for a brief moment. But if they use this spell to do more, since it does allow a lot of creative use, there is a strong chance they won't be able to cast it ever again. Not to mention, it basically brings them as close to death as a lvl 17+ PC can ever get. To me, this seems like the Wish spell is a gift, but also a back door into the weave that can be abused, and your abuse has a chance to alert Mystra to your tomfoolery. If she does then you are no longer permitted to use that spell, or worse.

@@r.r815 First off, it doesn't matter what the Gods can do, because the DM is the one who defines their powers. If the DM says she missed one, then she missed one. There's no ifs ands or buts about it. Secondly, an Avatar of Mistra would make sense, but Idk why she would bother doing that, also, that doesnt sound like the kinda storyline op is going for. What would work though, is if they ended up being the Reincarnation of Karsis. In his last moments, he was still tied to her just long enough to protect himself and cast reincarnation, which may or may not be a spell in your universe. Could also be someone who has an item that was forged by a God which has antimagic properties, more specifically, it's anti magic, is specifically against, anti magic. Or it coudl be someone not from this universe. Or perhaps they aren't casting level 10 spells at all, but are actually simulating them, like an android from the future, back in time with heavy artillary, so powerful his blasts cause volcanos to erupt. When you're talking about god defying powers, its bound to get a little crazy. Could also just end up being a liar and he cant do level 10 spells at all. Was all a misunderstanding, if DM goes this route its because they dont want to actually upset the balance of things, but also, because a lot of Legends and myths are actually just over exaggerated. Take for example the Kraken, or the Loch Nes monster.

More or less you can think of The Weave and The Force(star wars) as exactly the same thing.

Doesn't wish only work on 9th level and below spells?

@@GoldenCrow559 depends. The spell says it can create an item that's 25000 gold or less and cast 8th or lower spells. However, it also says the dm can let you do things. So technically using wish you could just become a god but the dm would probably have it either mess up, not allow you to do it, make it work but add in a consequence, ect

The problem is that it seems to be way beyond what it can do. Wish functions normally for duplicating spells of lower level than cast, everything else requires more magic which is taken directly from the caster, imposing physical penalties. Replicating a 9th level spell through 9th level casting would impose penalties, so casting anything higher could be way more catastrophic. Furthermore, Mystra can just say 'nah', but I assume we are going with a hypothetical in which she doesn't or simply cannot. In that case, the spell could backfire massively by, say, fusing them with the target God, adding a few wizard/sorcerer levels to them and modifying their personality. Epic way to derail a campaign, I'm definitely gonna use that. Now, what would probably require less magic than replacing a God is becoming one, so that's a bit more realistic. I would rule it that the spell would turn the caster into a quasideity, giving them a divine rank of 0. Lastly, whatever the case, the weave would be so torn from the stress of trying to replicate a spell of such magnitude with only a fraction of the energy necessary given by the caster, that it would just collapse around the area. It could just create zones of wild and/or dead magic, unleash magical calamities onto the plane, shake the borders between the planes and cause a mini Sundering etc. Everything would go to shits, so expect every Inevitable on Mechanus to pay a visit.

100%yes. I LOVED when all of that came up as I already had seen this video a few years ago and was just like "oh Gale you have NO idea what you did"

That wasnt the issue because he succeeded in using the spell against her. The issue was that he should have considered the consequences

I believe Karsus was made into a vestige for binders in 3e's _Tome of Magic._

Alpharius I mean... he spent the last part of the video explaining the powers of a warlock who has made a pact with Karsus. All of that information would be pretty pointless if it was impossible to become a warlock of Karsus.

Looking more into it I don't agree that Karsus would be classified as a "Great Old One" since that seems more focused on Far Realm entities (Cthulhu-esque) or entities of entropy (such as Tharizdun, the imprisoned god of madness from _The World of Greyhawk_ ). With that said, _The Sword Coast Adventurers Guide_ listed an "Undying" option for warlocks, which Ioulaum could be worked into (one of the 3e _Realms_ books, "Lost Empires of Faerûn," mentioned how he eventually became a 41st-level "elder brain lich" controlling a number of undead mindflayers).

@@Amesang I don't know. I feel like something that, by all accounts, doesn't exist, but seems to sorta exist anyway sounds like Great Old One material to me, even if that thing that exists-but-doesn't once existed fully. Sounds to me less like Karsus and more like a paradoxical, otherworldly image of Karsus. But I can also see the argument for that thing not being very Great Old One-ish.

It's sort of been handwavied that the Vestiges that Binders could select in 3.5 were essentially lumped into the Great Old One category. Many of them SHOULDN'T be, but there it is. I don't think Ashardalon counts as a Great Old One, for instance.

A golem is as mortal as you want it to be... but if it can stay operational till the end of time then it can be considered immortal.

Unless it was able to give birth to a soul or harbor one. It is not considered “alive”. But these are just my interpretation and opinion. If anyone else can clarify or bring a better argument then go ahead.

@@azureblaze8318 It just means non god, no need to think about it to hard. although It is possible for you to become a god. your gonna need the Infinity spindle though.

@@azureblaze8318 i mean liches have to maintain themselves if they dont drink any souls juice they deteriorate

@@kellynolen498 hmm good point so I guess a lich can be considered mortal in that sense then.

I thinka pretty accurate definition would be "someone that can die of old age", pretty simple, it excludes most construcs/undeads and all gods, but includes all other creatures

As from what he said yes but you'll bleed

@@lorekeeper685 I would be okay with bleeding so much. I feel like it as a subclass would just be like you can get "wizard slots" where you have your max at like 6 as a normal warlock you have those and then you get one wizard slot that increases and gets to 9th lvl so you can be a warlock with I think 3 lvl 6 slots and one lvl 9 wizard slot(granted on a long rest instead of short like warlock) by lvl 18 or whatever. I think it would be an interesting take on a warlock and one that would be fun to roleplay.

I Believe what it really is, mostly getting some Eldritch invocations, and talking to the DM for using Wizard items because of your pack with Karus.

@@thebohemian814 what do you mean getting some eldritch invocations? Do mean specific ones or do you mean that you would get different ones for the subclass?

@@thebohemian814 Also what items are only for wizards and not for warlocks. Almost all of the magic items for wizards can be used for warlocks anyways lol.

That's part of the campaign in the Arcane Age setting for Forgotten Realms (in 2nd edition AD&D)

Perhaps they are the children of his vestige

You can do it, you need to cast a 10th level shapechange, and make the duration permanent, so you can turn into a CR creature 1 above your level. turn into a solar and get the infinity spindle. which is an artifact that turns you into a demigod. Now your a demigod solar wizard. next get enough devout followers in order to turn into a god.

@@lebanemcarl68 the fact there is a formula for this scares me

@@clayxros576 I made it myself after learning about the infinity spindle.

@@lebanemcarl68 Now, how can i get to cast a 10th level spell? That is above the spellcap which we want to break in the first place.

Zaifir You can do a wish circle; in which everyone on the outside powers the center caster’s wish with a wish of their own. The center caster then carefully states “I wish to cast the 10th level spell ______”

But there hasn't been any 13th level magic let alone 99th level. God what would 99th level spells even do? Effect the real world?

@@Atroxian626 that would be 24'th level 99'th would destroy the metaverse

@@Atroxian626 Thanos snap would be 13th level Omni-magic spell Power Stone - Evocation Space Stone - Abjuration Reality Stone - Illusion Soul Stone - Necromancy Time Stone - Transmutation Mind Stone - Divination

@@lucasmaloneywordsmith8661 Transmutation isn't time magic though.

Wouldn't that just be stabbing the DM and taking his place?

yaasss! i love magi
