There is not much to say about this spell. You look intently at your target, say a word of power, and it… dies. Instantly. Truly dead, not just unconscious. At least, if it has a maximum of 100 hit points at the time of your spell.
If it has more, it still takes a hefty psychic damage of 12d12, for a maximum damage of 144 hit points, assuming there are no resistances. While you may not feel that absolute powerful sensation of taking down your opponent with just one word, the spell is likely still worthwhile.
