Aethernova (3.5e Spell)

You clasp your hands together in front of you, fingers tented, and a massive upwelling of aetherion immediately floods the area you designate. Any creature within the area takes 2d6 points of typeless damage per caster level (Fortitude half) and 2d6 points of ability damage to all mental ability scores (Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma, Will half).

Aetherion deals half again as much damage (including ability damage) to creatures whose body and soul are one and the same, such as elementals and non-native outsiders. Aetherion harmlessly passes through objects and constructs.

Aetherion ignores line of effect, passing through objects and walls, but is stopped by a wall of force or similar effect. It affects ethereal objects and creatures.
