City destroying spell

Anyone think this is possible right now? I havent been able to look at the spellbooks yet (I'm at work now, and cant). I also wonder if its possible to have a spell that can only be cast once.

I would assume that there is a method to remove a spell from a spellbook.  This is pure speculation, of course.  It also may be possible to simply change the mana cost to some astronomical number that cannot be reached.

You can create a spell that has a cooldown of 99999999999 turns, but it can be cast by several people after each other.

@Jharii all those things are possible, but not while the game is running

Edit: impinc I believe it should be possible to create a spell that requires shards, and then empties the power of those shards after it is cast.

Ok, well how about being able to destroy an enemy city? I mean, in theory, I can think of how to do it to a friendly city, but that doesn't make any sense hehe.

However, i DO like the cooldown time. You can also just create a prereq for the spell so only a certain race can cast it. At least I imagine you can apply a prereq to it.

Just to be clear, the cooldown is for each caster, so if you have several people... you get the picture.

Flood and Earthquake both destroy an enemy city pretty effectively, in separate but equally entertaining methods.  I went on a small rampage and annihilated 5 towns with 5 casts :)  A similar effect may be achievable via any map-mod effect (perhaps even putting the map back the way you found it).

Somehow I don't like the idea of a city being wiped with a single spell. I liked the MoM spells like Chaos Rift much better.

Use the one building per faction as a template to grant the spell after being the first to build a new building? Then use the long cool down time.

It's really for a mod im working on. It would only be available to one of the races (although another one would probably have something similar). And it would take a long time to acquire, and cost a huge amount of mana, and have a really long cooldown time. That way, by the time you have the spell, people will already have a few cities (unless they are absolutely crawling on growing, which means you're done anyways).
