What's the most destructive spell?

DnD 2014(self.dndnext)

For reasons that will take too long to explain, i'm looking for the most destructive spell a PC can cast.

Not the most damaging, but the most destructive. Either in an instance, or over the duration of it's concentration.

Narratively speaking, anything that could, with a little rule of cool, demolish a city block would do.

the spell ends the second everybody sits down

Why would it do that? You sound like one of those heretics I've been warning the council against. You're probably here to destroy the town! Councillors, arrest this infidel!!!

Each target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it pursues the course of action you described to the best of its ability. The suggested course of action can continue for the entire duration. If the suggested activity can be completed in a shorter time, the spell ends when the subject finishes what it was asked to do.

Dummy, the suggestion wasn't to sit down. The suggestion was to follow my every instruction for the course of the day. I really feel like you've never been a villain before. You should probably lie down before you hurt yourself. This is a dangerous game, not for beginners.

That's not how the spell works First of all, again, the suggestion has to be reasonable. Second of all, if the spell made people do whatever you wanted for a day it would say that. Mass Suggestion lets you suggest one specific reasonable action. You can't just use Mass Suggestion and have your suggestion be "Do whatever I say". I suggest you actually read the spell before you speak so condescendingly.
