* ''{{Yaiba}}'' has the Devil King Sword's [[EarthShatteringKaboom Full Moon Blast]], used by Onimaru. Furthermore, all the attacks performed with the Devil King Sword are fueled by the negative feelings of the wielder.

** The Darkhallow ritual from ''Literature/DeadBead'' is the ultimate necromantic spell that kills everything, both living and spirit, within several miles' radius, then turns the caster into a PhysicalGod.

* The Darkhallow ritual from ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' is the ultimate necromantic spell that kills everything, both living and spirit, within several miles' radius, then turns the caster into a PhysicalGod.
** There's also the bloodline curse from ''Changes'', which kills everyone related to a sacrificial victim. [[spoiler:It is ultimately used by Harry to destroy the entire Red Court.]]
* The Thought Bomb in ''DarthBane Path of Destruction'' is one such example; using Sith energy, it obliterates all Force-sensitives (and for those close enough, all life-forms) within its radius,[[spoiler: including the Sith who used it.]]

* In ''Manga/FairyTail'' Jellal's magic Altearis consist in an extremely devastating orb. In the anime it sucks [[CastingAShadow all the shadows in the room towards it]] and makes Natsu sick just by standing near it. Later, Brain [[spoiler: / Zero]]'s spell "Genesis Zero" is pretty much this, only with a ''tsunami'' of black shadows.

* ''TheSlayers'':

* In ''OnePiece'' there's [[AGodAmI God]] [[ShockAndAwe Eneru]] with his infamous, island-annihilating [[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20070318112235/onepiece/images/4/40/Eneruattack.png Raigou]].

* An Italian ''DragonBallZ'' FanFiction features [[EnemyMine Super C17]] performing the "Lurkodama", described as the "Hell version" of the "Genkidama" and based on negative energy. Is used to form a YinYangBomb along with Gogeta's Genkidama.

* The Darkhallow ritual from ''TheDresdenFiles'' is the ultimate necromantic spell that kills everything, both living and spirit, within several miles' radius, then turns the caster into a PhysicalGod.

* The "Dark Holy" spell from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics'', used exclusively by the highest order of demons, fits this bill to a T. Its animation even parallels the Holy spell (FadeToBlack vs FadeToWhite, ending with a deathly scream instead of an angelic choir.)

** Notably, it's used by Hayate, one of the good guys.

* From ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' there's the Meteor spell cast by Sephiroth. Note that in previous games Meteor was far more neutral.

** There's also the Giga Slave spell, which calls upon the (technically ChaoticNeutral) Lord of Nightmares, creator of all things. It's powerful enough to make the Dragon Slave look like a capgun, since it literally erases whatever it touches from existence... but if the caster loses control, it will ''destroy the entire universe''.

* In ''HeroesOfMightAndMagic'', Death Ripple damages all non-undead units on the battlefield. Unholy Word from ''V'' does the same, but also excludes demons.

* DominicDeegan has a rare example of one used by a good character. Dark Soul Burst is a spell powered by anger and hatred, and is typically used by Luna when someone REALLY pisses her off. The first time it's used, it knocks out Siegfried, a rather strong royal knight, in a single shot.

* Another very literal example is from ''{{GURPS}} Technomancer'': the necronium bomb. Plain and simple nukes became unusable in that setting because they set off cataclysmic mana vortexes that may destroy the whole world in one blast, so the necromantic magical replacement was created.

** The Death Coil spell is the Holy Light spell in reverse, healing a huge amount of life of an allied Undead unit or harming a living enemy for half the amount. In WarcraftII, it was (comparetively) even deadlier, as it could one-shot most units, two-shot the rest, and healed the SquishyWizard caster with every cast.

* ''WarcraftIII'': The Death Coil spell is the Holy Light spell in reverse, healing a huge amount of life of an allied Undead unit or harming a living enemy for half the amount. In WarcraftII, it was (comparetively) even deadlier, as it could one-shot most units, two-shot the rest, and healed the SquishyWizard caster with every cast.

* In ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' Barraggan's Respira , Ulquiorra's Cero Oscuras and Lanza del Lampargo, and Hollow Ichigo's horned Cero.

* Lina Inverse's Dragon Slave spell in ''TheSlayers'' (when it is not PlayedForLaughs). Just listen to the incantation:

** The "one" to whom the incantation addresses is no one other than [[BigRedDevil Shabranigdo]], the {{Satan}} figure of the Slayers world. And, yes, this spell is PlayedForLaughs every second time. It's that kind of series.

* While the series typically grants debuffing BlackMagic to Demons versus {{HolyHandGrenade}}s for Angels, the first NexusWar game made an exception for Breath of the Dead Child, a nuke powered by [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the breaths of dying children]] harvested from [[NightmareFuel haunted pediatric wards]]. The sequel's version is powered by [[FromBadToWorse dying breaths everywhere]] and is no longer age-specific.

* The TabletopGame/OldWorldOfDarkness featured the [[MageTheAscension Technocracy's]] "Code Ragnorok," a literal nuke, albeit a fairly small scale one, that detonates in the spirit world as well as the physical, destroying [[WraithTheOblivion ghosts,]] spiritual beings and the souls of anyone unfortunate enough to be caught in the blast. To their credit they only used it once, against a potentialy world-ending threat.
