As a DM, I actually like Destroy Universe. Allowing it means there's a chance, however slim, that someone else will DM the next campaign. Totally worth it.

I can imagine an entire 20th level campaign built around the "Destroy universe" spell. Imagine if the side effect of the spell was to send a telepathic signal detectable by every living being in the universe that lets them know that the end of the world is coming as soon as the ritual is started. Cities burn, people panic, riots in the streets, various apocalypse cults appear, deities and demigods scramble around trying to figure out who the fuck is deleting reality and why, and the players have a strict 1 month time limit to find whoever is casting it and stop him. Sounds like an epic adventure to end a long campaign with.

Personally, I'd balance it by removing most of the flavor, reducing the range to 30 feet, and making the effect 1 sonic damage, no Frighten effect (or raise the spell to 2nd level with the effect of making them "frightened until the end of your next turn", but removing damage). Mostly because if I had players doing war cries at my table, I would quickly be banned from playing D&D.

If you were to cast Million Chains from a 199994th level spell slot, the spell would actually create one million chains. This proves it is the strongest spell in the game, as it was originally intended to be cast at that level, but was scaled down in power so that we puny mortals could catch a glimpse of its awe-inspiring strength without immediately perishing under the glory of one million chains (a lot of chains).

"Since this spell has an extreme effect it should obviously require an absurd amount of preparation, not only will it be 9th level, but it'll have a cast time of almost a month which not only provides anyone aware of the spells existence plenty of time to attempt to stop the cast but also means you'll die of exhaustion way before finishing the cast unless you've prepared a way to counteract it. Requiring you to actually have your level 9 spell slot available seems a bit steep though, let's make it ritual castable just in case." I love the idea of some ultra nihilistic wizard lord hiding away in his heavily fortified lair, with several servants sustaining him through greater restoration, successfully casting this thing for 666 hours, ecstatic that he finally gets to eradicate the universe, only to be interrupted in the last 10 minutes because he wanted to preserve that spell slot.

If you are a certified therapist you may choose to use you’re action to give the Terrassque therapy, in which case it will no longer be hostile towards itself. You may cast the spell using a spell slot to increase the duration of the terrrask’s existence before inevitable(without a wish spell) oblivion. When cast using a 1st or higher level spell slot, roll a d8. For every spell level, one extra minute is added to the tarreske’s existence before it’s painful end. It is 1am and I have to be up early.

​@@ArtifactSkyline there is, in fact, one spell that lasts between 2 and 9 rounds, tsunami! A wall of water springs into existence at a point you choose within range. You can make the wall up to 300 feet long, 300 feet high, and 50 feet thick. The wall lasts for the duration. When the wall appears, each creature within its area must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 6d10 bludgeoning damage, or half as much damage on a successful save. At the start of each of your turns after the wall appears, the wall, along with any creatures in it, moves 50 feet away from you. Any Huge or smaller creature inside the wall or whose space the wall enters when it moves must succeed on a Strength saving throw or take 5d10 bludgeoning damage. A creature can take this damage only once per round. At the end of the turn, the wall's height is reduced by 50 feet, and the damage creatures take from the spell on subsequent rounds is reduced by 1d10. When the wall reaches 0 feet in height, the spell ends. A creature caught in the wall can move by swimming. Because of the force of the wave, though, the creature must make a successful Strength (Athletics) check against your spell save DC in order to move at all. If it fails the check, it can't move. A creature that moves out of the area falls to the ground.

Player: tries to cast Destroy universe which takes 27 days to cast. Dies from exhaustion before they can cast the spell

I like as a DM making homebrew spell scrolls that are oddly specific like the caster was just lazy and used them to accomplish chores. My players find them, spend time and money… then find out it’s a scroll of dusting a library or summoning a water elemental that takes care of your garden and potted plants before leaving. I got almost screamed at when they took 25 minutes to find out they had a scroll of bed making.

I love the destroy universe spell, just because I imagine as someone's trying to cast it there's just a goblin hunched over staring at them, just ready as fuck. And he just stands there all 21 days until finally on the 665th hour and 59th minute he just drops a counter spell and tells the guy casting it to just go suck one.

For those who don't know: The 10th level spell stuff is a relic of the old lore. Epic level magic, magic beyond normal comprehension. Epic Level Magic could go to 12th level and if I recall correctly there was only one 12th level spell, capable of allowing the caster to temporarily replace a God.

That Destroy universe could make an *AMAZING* campaign as it reminds me of Majora’s mask of where link has 3 days, but make that 28 days and the atmosphere reflects that by having every npc becoming hopeless of their fate, Players are actually gonna have to consider on how to spend their time, since travelling on the over-world can take DAYS to get somewhere, putting allot of pressure on the players and making them think ahead on what to do in this time limit. Oh and it allows someone else to be the DM so you can finally play :)

there could be alot of fun lead up to it. You hear rumors that a powerful archmage was found dead in his tower, throughout the campaign leaving breadcrumbs that powerful spellcasters are being killed in both silent and in some cases in very public ways, until someone figures out that every being who could cast wish was killed and the ritual has started.
