Level 6 Transmutation spell available to Sorcerers and Wizards. 10d6 plus a flat 40 Force to one target, an average of 75, and if that kills them they turn to dust. The catch is that a successful Dexterity save means nothing at all happens.

When to cast Disintegrate
Cast it to finish something. The damage is enormous for a single target and Force is resisted by almost nothing, so on a wounded boss or a dangerous lieutenant it is the closest thing to a kill button a caster has. Anything that dies to it cannot be revived by the enemy either.
The all-or-nothing save is the problem. A Dexterity save is the one most enemies are decent at, and a pass means you wasted a Level 6 slot. Cast it on things that cannot dodge: Held, Stunned, Sleeping, Prone, or otherwise Paralysed targets auto-fail Dexterity saves, and then it always lands.
That makes it a combo spell. Hold Monster or Hold Person on turn one, Disintegrate on turn two. Your melee gets the crits and your caster gets a guaranteed 75.
It also disintegrates objects, doors, and walls, including some that are otherwise in your way. The range is only 9m, so get close first.
