Seething Storm is a 3rd-level spell that creates a roiling storm that deals lighting and force damage to creatures in its area.[4]
Description[]
Seething Storm requires one action to cast, with verbal, somatic, and material components. The spell creates a lightly obscured[5] 20-foot radius[6] stormy sphere of difficult terrain that blinds creatures within it.[7]
Each creature that starts its turn in the area takes 2d6 lightning damage.[8] Creatures that end their turn in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 2d6 force damage[9] on a failure.[1]
History[]
Imogen Temult cast the spell multiple times in Campaign Three:
- "The Tunnels Below" (3x15), in order to create a choke point in a tunnel through which shade creepers were emerging.[10]
- "The Sorrow of Molaesmyr" (3x57), to sunder to dust the falling rocks that were going to crush F.R.I.D.A. in Molaesmyr.[11]
- "An Ancient Flame" (3x75), to block line of sight for an enemy's Telekinesis and deal some damage.[12]
- "Ruidus" (3x83), during Bells Hells' infiltration of the terminus of the Bloody Bridge on Ruidus in order to create a distraction and damage the pursuing Reilora.[2]
Behind the Scenes[]
Seething Storm is a reskin of the spell Hunger of Hadar, dealing lightning and force damage instead of cold and acid damage.[1] This change was made to keep Imogen's lightning and psionic spells theme consistent.[13]
