Negative Energy

Spell, Sorcery, level 7

A bolt of negative force that unmakes force barriers or disintegrates what it hits; any force shield neutralizes it.

From the book

The caster hurls a bolt of negative force up to 100 ft. It dissolves an Energy Field, Force Sphere or Force Shield, and disintegrates any creature, object or barrier it hits, up to 10x10x10 ft. of matter. Because negative and positive energy cancel on contact, even the weakest Force Shield neutralizes the bolt. A target can dodge it entirely with a save vs Dexterity.

A scene

The rival sorcerer has hidden himself inside a force sphere among the ruins of Valum Chivum, and he sits at its center drinking wine, protected from every arrow the bounty hunters can shoot at him. The sorcerer Marcellus arrives, surveys the scene, and hurls a single dark bolt that seems to swallow the light around it. When it strikes, the sphere dissolves with a sound like tearing silk. The rival drops his cup. The bounty hunters, grinning, reach for their arrows again.
