}} 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.
==Comments==
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]])


The highest possible damage for Implosion cast by a player is 571611 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 (6424) and [[Orb of Silt]]. 563886 (ca. 98%) 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]].
(*) 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%)).
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, 5% of which(7725*0,05 =386.25) would be 386.25, a stack of about 6 golems.  


In [[HotA]]{{-wh}}, the maximum hero level is 74. A hero with Expert Sorcery and Sorcery Specialty, wielding an [[Orb of Silt]] while residing in a Dungeon with the Guardian of Earth, while equipped with the [[Titan's Cuirass]], the [[Helm of Heavenly Enlightenment]], the [[Lion's Shield of Courage]], the [[Celestial Necklace of Bliss]], the [[Sword of Judgement]], the [[Sandals of the Saint]] and the [[Dragon Wing Tabard]] can reach Spell Power of -102. The value is negative, most likely due to a stack overflow. In that situation, the Implosion spell will deal 19756 damage. Note, that without the aforementioned artifacts (except for the Orb of Silt), the Hero will have Spell Power of 123 and the Implosion will deal 19669 damage. These numbers are the highest values of damage a single spell can deal to one creature in [[HotA]]{{-wh}}.  
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]] or [[Library of Enlightenment]]) the wasted mana may not be a scarce ressource.


'''Creatures immune to Implosion:'''
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.
