LEVIATHAN
A towering wall of water that drags ships down to the
ocean's depths and washes away coastal settlements-
that phenomenon typifies the destruction a leviathan
can unleash on the world. When called forth, a leviathan
arises from a large body of water to form an immense
serpent-shaped creature.

PHOENIX
Releasing a phoenix from the Inner Planes creates
an explosion of fire that spreads across the sky. An
enormous fiery bird forms in the center of the flames
and smoke- an elder elemental possessed by a need to
burn everything to ash. The phoenix rarely stays in one
place for long as it strives to transform the world into
an inferno.
