4th-level transmutation

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: 30 feet

Components: V, S, M (a ball of crumbly dirt)

Duration: Instantaneous

A thin green ray springs from your pointing finger to a target that you can see within range. The target can be any nonmagical physical object, to a maximum size of 10 feet on a side. If the target is held by a creature, that creature must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the object is reduced to a pile of fine gray dust. This spell automatically and completely disintegrates a Large or smaller nonmagical object or a creation of magical force.

If the target is a Huge or larger object or creation of force, this spell disintegrates a 10-foot-cube portion of it. A magic item is unaffected by this spell.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the object size increases by another 10-foot-cube for each slot level above 4th.
