Implosion also has the highest slope value of 75, which means that for every point [[power]] increases Implosion does 75 points more damage. In comparison, Armageddon has 50, [[Chain Lightning]] has 40 and [[Magic Arrow]] has 10.
Single most powerful targeted damage spell in the entire game. Its damage scaling is vicious, and it can easily annihilate even the most resilient of enemies (excluding the higher-level Golems, even if you had Power 99 (*) and [[Orb of Silt]])


(*) magic resistances: a [[Stone Golem]] has 50%, an [[Iron Golem]] has 75%, a [[Gold Golem]] has 85%, a [[Diamond Golem]] has 95%, a [[Crystal Dragon]] (also a crystal creature, not a golem) has 20%)).
The highest possible damage for Implosion casted by a player is 22711 points of damage. This requires Expert Earth Magic (or [[Rockland]], or [[Magic plains]]), Expert [[Sorcery]], Sorcery as hero specialty (gives 5% bonus to Sorcery per level), maximum Power (99), maximum hero level (108) and [[Orb of Silt]]. 14986 (c. 66%) points are the bonus from Sorcery skill. Therefore this is the highest possible damage to deal to one unit by one spell by a player. It is, however, possible for [[Faerie Dragon]] to cast spells of theoretically infinite strength. For highest possible damage to deal to multiple units at once by one spell, see [[Armageddon]].
So the most damage resistant golem only takes 5% of the damage done.
At Power level 99 and Expert Level Earth Magic (300 base damage not 100, same multiplicator (75 damage each power point),-25 mana not 30) the whole damage would be 7725 damage points (which would be health points worth a 25 creature stack of [[Titan]]s with 300 hp each), 5% of which(7725*0,05 =386.25) would be 386.25, a stack of about 6 golems.  


With an [[Orb of Silt]] (+50% earth magic damage) the damage would be 11588 damage points 100% damage, and the 5% effective golem damage would result in 578 damage points, shredding no less than and about 9 golems with 60 health points each. Maybe diamond gathering via golem destruction is a spending a nice time relaxing from getting rid off 46 units of [[Golden Dragon]] creatures, and at the time one has reached 99 power mana points (via buildings like [[School of Magic]] (+1 to either Knowledge or Spell Points, once) or [[Library of Enlightenment]] (+2 to Attack/Defense/Spellpower/Knowledge each after having reached Hero level 10 or by using [[Diplomacy]])) the wasted mana may not be a scarce ressource.

Of course using [[Summon Earth Elemental]] (also a 5th level spell) would be a little bit brutish as it would work without having to cirumvent or consider magic resistance and the [[Orb of Silt]] would not be usable.
* {{Cn|Black Dragon}}
 
And then there are times when an [[Orb of Vulnerability]] becomes rather useful, so one would not have to consider magic resistance at all.

Implosion is a 5th level spell in the School of Earth Magic. From the direct damage spells with a damage dealing capability of 300 + (power × 75), it is the most destructive spell for a single creature stack. From the spells that can cause collateral damage, Armageddon is the most destructive.

Implosion also has the highest slope value of 75, which means that for every point power increases Implosion does 75 points more damage. In comparison, Armageddon has 50, Chain Lightning has 40 and Magic Arrow has 10.

The highest possible damage for Implosion casted by a player is 22711 points of damage. This requires Expert Earth Magic (or Rockland, or Magic plains), Expert Sorcery, Sorcery as hero specialty (gives 5% bonus to Sorcery per level), maximum Power (99), maximum hero level (108) and Orb of Silt. 14986 (c. 66%) points are the bonus from Sorcery skill. Therefore this is the highest possible damage to deal to one unit by one spell by a player. It is, however, possible for Faerie Dragon to cast spells of theoretically infinite strength. For highest possible damage to deal to multiple units at once by one spell, see Armageddon.
