Through an hour-long rite you draw a thread of stellar core through the Rift and collapse it onto a region you have surveyed. When the rite completes, an area up to 1 mile in radius is destroyed: every structure in it is reduced to slag and ash, and every unshielded creature in it dies. The site emits lethal radiant Rift energy for years afterward, and shielding of Tier IV or lower does not survive prolonged exposure. The rite is visible from orbit while it runs, and it always draws a response.
An apex spell. Casting it takes class level 20 and Rift Affinity 6, once per long rest, at the cost of a level of exhaustion and a Surge Table roll, as Apex spells in the Rules sets out.
