**"Instakills"** do a ridiculous 999 damage, if they're successful. They also muscle through [[Luck]] and [[Twist Fate]].

{{:dom6:stats:mr.png?nolink }} Most instakills are negated by high [[Magic Resistance]]. A small amount of them will still do things even if the instakill portion is negated, and some of these are //also// negated with Magic Resistance; when multiple parts of a spell have "Magic Resistance negates", each gets a roll.

The following spells are "instakills", in order of availability:

  * ??Final Rest?? ([[Divine Magic]] of a [[Nature]] god, {{path>H1}}, 7 Penetration, [[Undead]] only)
  * ??Syllable of Death?? ([[Divine Magic]] of a [[Death]] god, {{path>H3}}, [[Undead]]/[[Inanimate]] negates, 11 Penetration, requires **two** successful rolls)
  * ??Banish Demon?? ([[Blood Magic]] 2, {{path>B1}}, {{gems>1B}}, [[Demon|Demons]] only, 11 Penetration)
  * [[Magic Duel]] ([[Evocation]] 3, {{path>S1}}, {{gems>1S}}, [[Mindless]] negates, only hits [[Astral]] mages, may backfire)
  * ??Bone Melter?? ([[Alteration]] 5, {{path>W3N2}}, 11 Penetration, **[[Ethereal|nonmagical]]**)
  * [[Soul Slay]] ([[Thaumaturgy]] 5, {{path>S3}}, [[Mindless]] negates, 11 Penetration, overrides additional lives/forms and [[Immortal]])
  * ??Stream of Life?? ([[Evocation]] 6, {{path>N3}}, [[Undead]]/[[Inanimate]] negates, 11 Penetration, max 60% chance to strengthen instead)
  * ??Disintegrate?? ([[Alteration]] 8, {{path>D2}}, 11 Penetration)
  * ??Liquify?? ([[Alteration]] 8, {{path>W4}}, [[Ethereal|Spiritform]] negates, 11 Penetration)

Of these, ??Syllable of Death??, ??Banish Demon??, ??Magic Duel??, ??Soul Slay??, and ??Disintegrate?? are single-target spells. ??Bone Melter?? and ??Stream of Life?? both affect an entire square, while ??Final Rest?? and ??Liquify?? both affect more than one square. ??Syllable of Death?? and ??Liquify?? both have side effects if the instakill fails; ??Syllable of Death?? does damage //before// the instakill and tries to cause [[Fatigue]] afterwards, while ??Liquify?? tries to [[afflictions#leg-afflictions|Cripple]] foes after the instakill attempt.
