The Elderspell is a spell that Nicol Bolas uses during the War of the Spark to harvest planeswalker's sparks. It would grant him "ultimate power" and godhood.[1]
Bolas cast the Elderspell to grow his own power by absorbing the sparks, right after the invasion of Ravnica by the Dreadhorde. The spark harvesting, as performed by the Eternals, was lethal.[2][3] All the moisture in the victim's body was drained. The Eternal would absorb the planeswalker's life force right out of his back, until it glowed from within their lazotep body, glowing brightly enough to create—or at least highlight—cracks in their lazotep shell. It then would burst into flames from the inside out. That fire would rocket into the air, shooting like a comet toward Nicol Bolas leaving the burned-out Eternal behind.[4]
The effect of the Elderspell were reversed when the God-Eternal Bontu bit Bolas, claiming all the sparks (including Bolas' own.) After this, Bontu exploded in shards.[5]
