	This was used in the ending of the NWN2 original campaign. And at the ''beginning'' of the first [[Icewind Dale]] game, killing everyone that isn't the player party. In theory, this may have been inspired by [[Tomb of Horrors]], in which entering the wrong room CAN lead to "Rocks Fall" everyone dies... if you don't leave within 10 seconds.

Everyone else levels up." as in D&D players can earn XP from witnessing events that no one has ever seen before. So you bullshit the players with a story about how magic is created by meteorites of pure magic falling through the atmosphere and as they burn up the microscopic dust suffuses everything and creates magic.
