@Azel, here's a plan for Viserys' Mythic rank up. I'm working on a write up for the Mythic version of Magic Army now, with the provided link being the spell's eventual home.

I'm not going to get fancy with the spell, so hopefully @DragonParadox will approve it.

[] Viserys' 5th Mythic Rank
-[] Mythic Feat: Extra Path Ability (Beyond Morality)
-[] Mythic Spell: Magic Army
-[] Path Ability:
--[] Divine Source (Su): Fire Domain, Knowledge (Espionage) Subdomain, Law (Legislation) Subdomain
--[] Beyond Morality (Ex): You have no alignment. Attempts to detect your alignment don't return any results. If you're the target of a spell or effect that is based on alignment, you're treated as the most favorable alignment when determining the spell's effect on you. Any effects that alter alignment have no effect on you. If you lose this effect, you revert to your previous alignment.

Thank you. Added to the vote.

As a side note, with Beyond Morality, there is nothing stopping us from using some slight CL boosting to nuke things with Holy Word or equivalent. Anything with less HD then our CL-5 is automatically paralyzed for a round, even if it makes it's save.

Considering that we would have to use Wild Arcana to cast it, the base caster level is going to be 22. We could further enhance that with a Spell Enhancer spell or have Lya or Xor cast Harmonic Chorus on us. With a bit of prep involving Viserys using Spell Enhancer while Lya uses an Encouraging Harmonic Chorus spell buffed by Moment of Greatness, Viserys could use Holy Word at 30th caster level.

Which means that even a CR 20 Balor would have to save against instant death.

Depends on if we get to use the 3.5 version (no save) or the Pathfinder version (yes save).

I would actually prefer the Pathfinder version, though we generally default to 3.5 if the spell exists in both settings. Same goes for Mage's Disjunction, as I've said before.

Pathfinder is a bit more consistent and restrained when it comes to absolute effects.

Even if the hypothetical Balor did save vs death, it would still be Deafened, Blinded, and Paralyzed, and possibly Banished, too, if we fought it on Planetos. That would be a shame, though, because then we couldn't Larder it.

But does it work against multiple targets? If so, how many?

Everything within a 40 feet radius centered on the caster. That's actually an issue that makes targeting problematic, because the spell has no built in IFF feature.

If we want to use it near most of our allies, we're going to need to augment it with the Selective Spell feat. I'm handling that right now, though, by adding a Greater Metamagic Rod of Selective Spell to our magic item commission order for this month.
 
Are there any AoE spells that deal damage over multiple rounds? Specifically thinking about what sorts of things could be used for an arcane artillery bombardment.

"Noooo! You can't just use your own fiat currency to acquire literally every single metamagic in the setting!"

Viserys: *having literally every metamagic enhancer item inside of his cloak go brrrr*

Tons of them. They're not always very good, though, or appropriate to a situation. Viserys' staple spell for this is Firebrand, but we have other options depending on the needs of the moment.

Also, combat doesn't really last very long at our level. Stuff dies quickly, escapes, or ends up captured in one manner or another.

That's personal combat, though. For large-scale bombardment, we have Alchemical explosives and firebombs which can be fired from our steam cannons, along with the Teleporting Beetle Bombs which deliver the ordinance directly to the target.
