In Chainmail, it's a kills-everything effect, and it's not a spell, it's a missile. So is lightning bolt, which importantly does not originate at the caster's location. So the Gygax's intent was clear, but the D&D spell is so overpowered that lots of people read the original description wrong.

Speaking as one of the people who thinks the Underdark is absolutely one of the hallmarks of D&D and tabletop—that is, I am 100% biased on this topic forever—I still gotta stay: highest recommendation.

We are on the verge of a climatic upheaval greater than any of us can imagine. Global leaders and media aren't paying attention. They are focused on a series of self-inflicted crises that have left us dangerously vulnerable and totally unprepared. My latest. charlieangus.substack.com/p/what-keeps...

Kobold Press is experimenting with a DaggerHeart RPG release! I believe this is the 9th RPG system that KP has published for. For many systems, there is only one or two releases. It is very much a “testing the waters” sort of thing.
