This spell showcases most flaws with the epic spell system.
  1. Expensive development cost. Monetarily setback and experience setback combine to keep your level way below any meleers who managed to get to epic.
  2. Weak effect. Sure, it's 30d6 damage, but that is on the Low power end of epic.
  3. Large spellcraft DCs for simple effects. Basically, abuse your skill checks or never cast spells. How not fun.
  4. Long casting times. In this case, it is giving up your move action to do 5d6 damage more than polar ray.
  5. Saving throws that negate any epicness. Make a reflex save, and bam, the damage is practically negated. On that note, spell resistance still applies. Even epic magic can be shrugged off by racial features. What the heck?

I don't really see the point of this spell; it costs a lot but isn't any good.
