It could be possible to research a variant of Sphere of Ultimate
Destruction (a ninth level spell that creates a temporary Sphere of
Annihilation and the basis for one of the energy weapons that I am
working on) that creates a faster moving Sphere that can move in a
straight line with no control except the direction and a shorter
duration (the normal version has a duration of 1 round/level)
