When the party returns to Mysidia, the Elder of Mysidia warns Tellah against Meteor, and implies the spell had been sealed away for some time for being too dangerous, but Tellah still does not listen.
Some time later in the Tower of Zot, Tellah claims his chance at revenge. Assailing Golbez with the strongest spells he knows to no avail, Tellah casts Meteor. The spell weakens Golbez, forcing him to flee, and shatters his telepathic control of Kain Highwind. The effort to cast Meteor drains what is left of Tellah's life force, and he perishes soon after.

Etymology
A meteor or "shooting star" is the visible streak of light from a meteoroid or micrometeoroid, heated and glowing from entering the Earth's atmosphere, as it sheds glowing material in its wake. Meteors rarely explode in the Earth's atmosphere. The term has become associated with quickness with the adjective "meteoric". In the context of myth and superstition, meteors and comets sighted in Ancient and Medieval Europe were once held as ill omen, said to be the message of the heavens' displeasure of man's affairs to herald grave catastrophes.
Pieces that withstand atmospheric ablation are known as meteorites, but the name of the spell in the series refers to the overall phenomenon.
Therefore, the use of the term meteor is incorrect in Final Fantasy IV as pieces that withstand ablation from atmospheric entry and impact with the ground are called a meteorites rather than meteors.
