Spell Resistance: Yes

All living creatures within this spell's area of effect believe that they are experiencing the final destruction of the universe. Those subject to the spell experience illusory images that bolster this belief, such as hails of fire and brimstone, the forming of vast fissures in the crust of the earth, the coming of deadly plagues, and perhaps even the appearance of the Lords of Heaven and the Lords of Hell. Any creature subject to this spell must make a Will save each round. If the creature fails, it suffers 2d4 points of damage and 1 point of temporary Wisdom damage. If the creature succeeds at its Will save, it suffers half damage and does not suffer any Wisdom damage. If, during a single round, all creatures that are subject to the spell succeed at their saving throws, the spell ends immediately. Creatures that leave the spell's area of effect are no longer subject to the spell.
