You unleash deadly explosive power, like the effects of the retributive strike created by breaking a staff of power or staff of the magi . The spell converts any unexpended spell slots you have into a blast of magical energy, releasing your arcane power in an explosion that expands to fill a sphere with a 30-foot radius centered on you. When the staff explodes, you have a 50% chance to avoid the explosion by instantly transporting to a random plane of existence. However, if you are not transported, then you take force damage equal to 16 × the number of unexpended spell slots you had when you cast the spell. In addition, each creature in the sphere's radius when the blast occurs must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes an amount of damage based on how far it is from the blast's point of origin, as described below. On a successful saving throw, a creature takes half damage. All creatures within 10 feet of you when the blast occurs take force damage equal to 8 × the number of unexpended spell slots you had when you cast this spell. Likewise, creatures between 11 and 20 feet away from you take force damage equal to 6 × the number of unexpended spell slots you had when you cast this spell. Finally, creatures between 21 and 30 feet away from you take force damage equal to 4 × the number of unexpended spell slots you had when you cast this spell.
