Death Spell

Death Spell kills instantly all enemy creatures with fewer than 9 Hit Dice and most summoned creatures.
==Description==
==Gameplay==
The caster designates a point on the map with the targeting cursor to direct this spell towards.
When the casting is finished a projectile travels to the designated target point and expands to cover a 30-foot radius area with the spell's death effect.
The spell works against only enemy creatures, and also enemy creatures whose gender is classified as "Summoned".
Enemy creatures with less than 9 Hit Dice are exposed to a Slay effect with no saving throw.
Magic resistance can block the slay effect, as well as Spell Immunity: Necromancy, and items/spells that protect against instant death can prevent being slain, such as Death Ward.
Summoned enemy creatures (regardless of their hit dice value) in the area of effect are instantly slain (and this can't be blocked by magic resistance or Death Ward).
Note that summoned enemy creatures such as a fiend, deva or planetar are gated/plane shifted and are thus immune to this spell. Familiars are not automatically affected and can block it with magic resistance, but their low hit die makes them vulnerable even in Throne of Bhaal. 
This spell is particularly effective early in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, as it is party-friendly AoE spell that can outright kill enemies like trolls and Umber Hulks.
Keep in mind that it is also possible to use this spell as a no-save instant kill against enemies with more than 9 hit dice by utilizing level drain effects (such as those inflicted by the spell Energy Drain, the Black Blade of Disaster, Blackrazor, the Totemic Druid's Spirit Wolf summon (level 10+) and so on) so that their level meets the 8 HD threshold.
