Devised by the dire Elven Wizard "Elwin Bloodfang" for an act of 
retribution:

Infernal Tornado (Evocation)

Level: 8
Components: V, S, M
Range: 10"/level
Casting Time: 1 day
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: None
Area of Effect: Special

Explanation/Description: While the wizard is casting this spell, a dark
ominous cloud begins to gather in a 1 mile-diameter region centered over
the target. Upon completion of the spell, a dark, fiery tornado of fire
grows from the base of the cloud until it touches the ground. The whirling
mass of fire proceeds to wander about the area, incinerating everything in 
its path.

  Each round, the tornado travels in a random direction at a movement rate
of 20". The flames inflict 1hp of damage per segment of exposure for every 
level of experience of the spell caster. The diameter of the cylinder is 
about 50', and anyone within 25' must make a strength roll each round to 
keep from being sucked into the cylinder by the powerful blast of winds.

  The material component of this spell is a large iron pot filled with
charcoal that must be kept burning for the duration of the casting. Sulfur
and 500gp worth of crushed amber must be gradually added to the pot.
