What precisely does the earthquake spell do? I casted it once and the whole level was in shambles. Can I use this on the elemental temples or other special levels? what does effectively have to do with the spell?

notice the vault in the bottom-left. It was a jelly vault but I had hammerhead and lots of useful spells

You can't use it on special levels, they just rumble.Earthquake knocks walls down, and rocks fall down by the tons, killing monsters like hundreds of stone block traps at once.Excellent for taking out large groups of enemies in a crowded area.

Greater vaults then?? Greater undead vaults would yield tons of xp. Muahahaha. Unfortunately it would also open up the vault wide.

What happens if you use several earthquakes? would the level collapse eventually? or would it just yield lots of random damage?

I'm not sure about greater vaults or the level collapsing. I do know if cast enough it will completely open the level up. Like the big room.

Um... You won't make the whole level collapse this way, brutally killing you, right? Just checking?

I'm assuming that in the pic, F50 is standing on the up-stairs, correct? So if that's true, I would assume that if you are standing on stairs, you will not get your head(or helmet) smashed by rocks.(note that the downstairs aren't covered by rocks, that's how I assume the above stuff)

That's another spell I never really use, but maybe I should. I suppose it's a possible way to damage a group of monsters far from where you are. How much damage does it do?

Correct n00b-mAsTeR

I don't know how much damage, like a ceiling trap I assume.

EDIT: when this character is through I will test what happens when you cast earthquake lots (and also what happens when you get it to high effectivity)

The earthquake spell doesn't really do that much to higher level enemies, but I've always considered it an extremely valuable spell for elementalists who are unlucky enough to find themselves faced with a jelly vault full of gray oozes without a good weapon.

Would it work against, say, balors and greater balors? ;)

Even if it does work against balors and greater balors, D:50 could always be generated non-diggable.
