descr: "You utter the most powerful arcane word of power. Once targeted, the target\
  \ is then temporarily immune for 10 minutes. The effect of the spell depends on\
  \ the target's level. 14th or Lower The target dies instantly. 15th If the target\
  \ has 50 Hit Points or fewer, it dies instantly; otherwise, it drops to 0 Hit Points\
  \ and becomes dying 1, or increases its dying condition by 1 if it's already dying.\
  \ 16th or Higher The target takes 50 damage; if this brings the target to 0 Hit\
  \ Points, the target dies instantly.  \n\n**Heightened (10th)**  The levels at which\
  \ each outcome applies increase by 2."
