Vote to choose the new spell's name Options

[Sikret]

As I wrote elsewhere, a new 4th level arcane spell is added to the game which only affects golems. It can be cast on a single golem. It penetrates/bypasses magic resistance and applies unavoidable damage which varies depending on the golem-type. The game's standard golems (except the adamantite and Brain ones) take most damage. Brain, Adamantite, Coin, Gem and Amber golems stand middle regarding the amount of damage they take. Ice golems and Elemental Golems take less damage than others, though it's still considerable compared to the little damage they take from other type of attacks. (Ultra Golems and Supreme Golems are immune and take no damage.)

I want you to cooperate and choose a name for this new spell. The spell's projectile animation is that of a beholder's ray and its icon (spellbook, scroll and memorization icons) is a red colored golem head with a very narrow white vertical line on it (as if it's cracked). Just to help you imagine the icon correctly, remember the ninth level spell "shape Change"? Just imagine the same icon but in red color.

If you have any new suggestion, please write it. You can even vote for one of the existent options in addition to suggesting a new name.

Yes you are right, although "Fragment Golem" and "Ray of Fragmentation" have slightly different implications. "Fragment Golem" definitely implies you are breaking the golem into pieces. "Ray of Fragmentation" is slightly more ambiguous since there is mention of what you are fragmenting or whether it is successful or not.

The trouble with "pierce" and "penetrate" is that I don't get a feel necessarily that they are causing damage; they are getting through a shield. Of the two I'd suggest "pierce" is better.

A further possible name which has just occurred to me is "Smite Golem". "Smite" is used elsewhere in the game (Smite HLA, Holy Smite) and implies striking the golem in some way (magically or physically) without necessarily destroying it.

Edit: I see I posted at the same time as Marceror; we seem to have a similar overall take on this but slightly different views. The wonderful diversity of the English language, lol
