Disintegrate

A casting of Disintegrate literally turns the enemy to dust.
==Description==
== Gameplay ==
The caster selects a single target creature to aim this spell towards.
After the spell is finished casting, a projectile travels to the target unerringly and potentially affects the creature.
Contrary to the spell's description of a thin green ray, this spell instead uses a greenish energy orb projectile.
A creature contacted by the orb must attempt a Saving throw versus Spells or suffer a Disintegrate effect.
If the saving throw is failed, the creature is instantly killed and is reduced to a pile of fine dust.
A disintegrated victim cannot be resurrected, and the spell can destroy carried items that are not flagged as "critical" in the game files - although turning off the "gore" option will prevent this, as will playing in "Story Mode"
This spell can be blocked by Magic resistance, or appropriate Spell protections that have a capacity to withstand a 6 spell Power level, such as Spell Deflection, Spell Turning, or Spell Trap.
Spell Immunity: Alteration will negate this spell.
A creature protected by a Death Ward, Avoid Death, or the Cloak of Mirroring will be immune to this particular disintegration spell.
==Psionic disintegrate==
The Githyanki Captain from the Watcher's Keep Githyanki Encampment, as well as the Gith and Anti-Paladin from the Black Pits II, have a Psionic Disintegrate attack. It is the same as the spell, except saving throw is made against Death instead of Spell.SPIN542.SPL
==Hive Mother disintegrate==
A Hive Mother employs a more potent version of an innate disintegration eye ray (using the beholder blast projectile), with a casting time of 1 and the save vs spell incurring a -4 penalty.SPIN552.SPL

==Mod content==
Spell Revisions mod has changed this arcane spell, revising its effects, saving throw and description. See below:
Disintegrate
Level: 6
School: Alteration
Range: Long
Duration: Instant
Casting Time: 6
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: Breath partial
Upon casting this spell at another creature, a thin green ray shoots unerringly from the caster’s fingertip toward the target. Upon contact, the creature must make a saving throw vs. breath at -2 or suffer 2d6 points of magic damage per caster level (to a maximum of 40d6). A creature that makes a successful save is partially affected, taking only 5d6 points of damage. The ray affects even objects constructed entirely of force, such as a Mordenkainen’s Sword, which is automatically destroyed when struck. This spell has no effect on clothing or equipment carried by the target.
