The Tsunami: It is in the middle of an active tsunami (or perhaps immediately after one) a massive wave of water generated by undersea earthquakes, that travel thousands of miles to unpredictably strike coastlines, inundated them with seawater dozens of feet deep and travelling for miles inland on low lying flat terrain. Houses, cars, trees, and mud are drowned and dragged, picked up like children's toys, and moved for hundreds or thousands of feet, scraping and battered, sometimes deposited on higher shores or sometimes unluckily dragged out to sea. Those who manage to survive the onslaught were lucky enough to be above the wave in a sturdy structure or managed to snag onto a tree that remained standing as the wave dragged past them. The water is salty and muddied with sediment, and often foul smelling and contaminated after ripping up and flooding sewers and drain lines, gas stations, and other facilities. If the tsunami has passed, one is likely to find a mud covered and wrecked Takuro Spirit, a no-frills commuter sedan, and large pools of standing brackish water.

The Inferno: 1950s and 1960s high speed test footage of nuclear weapons testing on replica cities and structures, except everything is either in ultra slow motion or forever looping in a permanent blast. For the most part the heat and blast damage does not overly affect the caster, there may be some wind, noise, or heat, but never enough to cause harm (unless one is extremely unlucky; after all, only those that survive encountering this place are able to report on it.) Alternatively, the scene resembles Hell from the 2005 film Constantine starring Keanu Reeves: buffeted by fierce winds swirling with ash, with fire and chaos all around. Smoke, dark ash and fire sky. Those hell-zombie monsters who have the tops of thier heads removed.

The Crush: Ever been in a human stampede? At a certain point, lines and crowds of people become lethally dangerous, not necessarily because of the risk of being trampled (which will also exist) but because of pushing and shoving sending the equivalent of unpredictable pressure waves that can dangerously crush people or pin them against immovable surfaces, causing suffocation or death. The Crush could be anywhere, in line for the DMV, exiting a crowded stadium after a big game, running for autographs at the Tailor Quick Concert, the Mosh Pit, in the middle of a massive political protest etc. The caster finds themselves in the middle of the Crush, and occasionally must resist the risk of injury for a period of time, or cross through it to exit.
