This is the most powerful Eradication spell. It will cause most violent volcanic eruptions in your enemy's country. It will destroy land, maim citizens, eradicate armies and leave your enemy thunderstruck with shock and dismay. Fortunately, the Council only allows 10 such spells to be used against any mage. In addition, this spell is most effective when used against enemy with close net power to the caster. It's effectivness drops as the difference in power increases.

Effects
- UNVERIFIED: It kills: 10% of targets units, 20% population.
- From a reputable source: First VE does 10% of army damage. Following VE's have diminishing returns. Total damage to army from VE's before prot: ~45%
- It destroys about 60 buildings each cast. So a mage with 50 forts and no other buildings will die to one VE, but a mage with 3 forts and 80 farms will probably survive one VE.
- Volcano Eruption can give you a counter (Wink of Goddess of Revenge) if someone casts it on you.
- There is a maximum of 10 VE's that a target can have received in last 24 hours (VE protection)
- The code shows it will destroy the following buildings:
Beta: 27 + ((1000 + 4*[sl])/1000)
Non-beta: 20 + ((1000 + 4*[sl])/1000)
Usage
- Mainly in war, for example to finish off last forts when a target is out of reach.
- if target has a lot of wilderness on his land, Volcano Eruption appears to become more effective in destroying the last buildings, on the other hand... the supposed ranged effect will kick in more and more.
