Looks like Ed's next novel Spellstorm is slated for June 2nd, 2015. Found it on Amazon today.
Anyone able to provide more insight into a Spellstorm?
I always thought they were literally a storm of spells that gets so bad it damages the Weave and kind of goes into a chain reaction. A Realms version of a nuclear bomb perhaps? Anyone able to clarify?

| Spellstorm was a 9th level spell detailed in the seven sisters supplement. I do not know whether this spell has anything to do with the upcoming novel, however - I would expect not. |

| I think (pretty sure, can't quite remember what book though) it was mentioned in one of those little quote snippets at the beginning of chapters in one of his novels. Supposed to be a pretty scary bad deal to see and something a person is lucky to live through. |

Ugh, that means after Fire in the Blood in Oct no more Realms novels for another 8-9 months.  |

How about RAS's next one (the sequel to Rise of the King)? |

| Wasn't Troy Denning also confirmed to be writing more Realms books? I imagine that his will be released sometime between Erin M Evans' 2 books. |
Sir Markham pointed out, drinking another brandy. "A chap who can point at you and say 'die' has the distinct advantage". |

Great Memory Eilserus! I never would have remembered that. It Was Elminster in Myth Drannor. The chapter entitled Twenty Spellstorm At Court begins thus:
And so it was that a spellstorm was unleashed in the Court of Cormanthor that day. A true spellstorm is a fearful thing, one of the most terrible dooms one can behold, even if one lives to remember it. Yet some among our People hold far more hatred and fear in their hearts for what happened after the spellstorm blew apart.
Shalheira Talandren, High Elven Bard of Summerstar from Silver Blades And Summer Nights: An Informal But True History of Cormanthor published in The Year of the Harp
Sudden light kindled in the darkness and the dust. Golden motes of light, drifting up from the open hand of a sorceress who seemed no more than an elf-child. Suddenly the Chamber of the Court was no longer lit only by the flashes of spells, the flickering steel of the Coronal's sweeping blade, and the leaping flames of small fires blazing up tapestries here and there.
Like a sunrise in the morning, light returned to the battlefield.
A battlefield the grand Chamber of the Court had become. Bodies lay strewn everywhere, and amid the risen dust, the sky could be seen faintly through the rent in the vaulted roof of the hall. Huge fragments of the toppled pillar lay tumbled behind the floating throne, with dark rivers of blood creeping out from beneath some of them.
...
As his eyes were dragged up to focus on the Srinshee, El cried out, "Nacacia! Help me! Stop me!"
His mind was flashing through magics as The Masked rummaged his spell roster, seeking one particular spell and, with a warm surge of satisfaction, found it. It was the spell that snatched blades from elsewhere and transported them, flashing in point-first, to where one desired.
Where the Masked desired the points to go was the eyes and the throat and breast and belly of the Srinshee, as she stood on emptiness deflecting the worst magics of the warring elves.
=====================================================================
This passage seems also to reference the spell from the Seven Sisters supplement. Time will tell I suppose.
