Default Re: [Sorcery] Michael's daily sorcerous spells thread

Today was hectic, leading to a somewhat incomplete entry I will hopefully expand given time. Anyone know the best way to put a table in a form post? Use a code block and take advantage of the monospaced font? Or what?
Falling Sky
Keywords: Area (Leveled).
Full Cost: 12 points for level 1 + 2.5 points/additional level (or more)*.
Casting Roll: None. Use Innate Attack (Gaze) to aim.
Range: 100 yards.
Duration: Instantaneous.

This spell rapidly increases the atmospheric pressure of the area, inflicting crushing damage on everyone within. The effect resembles an explosion, so Pressure Support does not protect. Anyone damaged by the spell must roll vs. HT at -1 per 2 points of damage inflicted. On a failure, the victim is stunned (roll vs. HT each second to recover) and gains Hard of Hearing for 20 - HT minutes. On a failure by 5 or more, the victim gains Deafness instead of Hard of Hearing (i.e. the victim still recovers completely after 20 - HT minutes). The basic version inflicts 1d crushing damage.

More potent versions of Falling Sky exist. Increasing the full cost of the spell increases the crushing damage by the same factor, as indicated by the table below.
Code:
Spell Strength		Full Cost
1d crushing		12 points for level 1 + 2.5 points/additional level*.
2d crushing		24 points for level 1 + 5 points/additional level.
3d crushing		36 points for level 1 + 7.5 points/additional level*.
4d crushing		48 points for level 1 + 10 points/additional level.
5d crushing		60 points for level 1 + 12.5 points/additional level*.
Statistics: Crushing Attack 1d (Accessibility, only in atmosphere, -5%; Area Effect, 2 yards, +50%; No Signature, +20%; Side Effect, Hard of Hearing, Stunning, Secondary Deafness replaces Hard of Hearing, +90%; Sorcery, -15%) [11]. Additional levels add Area Effect (+50%) [+2.5*]. The expanded versions raise the Crushing Attack level.

* Calculate the total cost and then round up.
