"
Cast on a location, this immediately causes a hail of meteors to fall from the sky for a period of time.
Any creature hit by a meteor will take damage.
Meteors can also begin fires in the surrounding terrain."
Alignment: Chaos
Whilst there are plenty of other options for a ranged damage effect like meteor shower.
it is very quick, and offers the target very little chance to escape.
defeating meteor shower
When this spell goes off, you have no time to get away.
If you lucky enough to have any warning (through a previoulsy mis-targeted strike)
try and get away from danger with
invisibility,
haste
or
teleport.
If you suspect a strike, do what little you can.
Prevent damage by increasing your armour with
iron skin,
and heal yourself during and after the attack with
heal.
alternative spell choices
Meteor shower is an offensive spell,
So other offensive spells such as
fireball,
dragon's breath,
lightning
will serve a similarly aggressive attacking purpose.
However meteor shower is most like
fire elemental -
you only really need one or the other.
Both are very damaging with their area effects,
but the fire elemental has a delayed start, due the travel of it's seed projectile.
The spell ingredient
brimstone
can produce the spells:
Two out of three spells on this ingredient are the most powerful offensive spells available,
and that unfortunately knocks the stong, but cheap trolls out of sight.
The panel is decidely split between lighting and meteor shower:
Lightning offers you a pin point damage option,
whilst there are plenty of other options for a ranged damage effect like meteor shower.
Therefore
lighting is too quick and deadly an option to be without.
