Bizarre Spell Ideas

[Michael Hopcroft]

How to write up certain spells that might appear in the Grimoires of FH mages whose players have missed several days worth of their medication.

Rain of Cows: "It's raining cows! Hallelujah!" This spell causes a downpour of (temporarily) live cattle over the area of its effect. The effect of having one of them land on you is the same as it would be had a cow fallen on you from several thousand feet in the air under normal circumstances. The cows are real, and do not go away at the end of the spell's duration, although you probably don't know where they came from in the first place (or want to).

Scissors beats paper AND rock: using energy from the Elemental Plane of Sharpness, you can temporarily enchant any blade to make it cut through any desired material other than flesh as though the obstacle wasn't even there. However, it cannot penetrate any form of living flesh (it can cut through a steak, but not a live cow), thus severely reducing its utility as a weapon.

Scissors beats paper AND rock: No Normal Defense (Defense is Being made primarially of Living Tissue; +1/2), Does BODY (+1) for up to 60 Active Points of Bladed Weapons, Variable Effect (any Bladed Weapon power one at a time; +1/4), Usable By Other (+1/4), Lingering up to 1 Minute (+3/4) (202 Active Points); Extra Time (1 Turn (Post-Segment 12), -1 1/4), OAF (Weapon This Spell Effects; -1), Gestures, Requires Gestures throughout (Requires both hands; Broad, sweeping, scissoring motions with the blade and your other hand; -1), Concentration, Must Concentrate throughout use of Constant Power (0 DCV; Must Concentrate on the phrase "One Musn't Run With Scissors"; -1), Incantations (Requires Incantations throughout; I call to thee oh Elemental Plane of Sharpness to endow my blade with the virtue of the most holy of Scissors!; -1/2)

[Curufea]

Detect Lie
In a 1 kilometer radius the mage is able to detect anybody lieing at all. Whether it is on a bed, on the ground, beneath the covers or not.

Sleep
Can be used in conjuction with the above spell. Great for insomniac mages. The incantation usually involves numbers and sheep. May require an OAF of "bed"

Blazing Saddles
The ideal spell to stop pursuing cavalry.

Cattletrops
Similar to caltrops, but larger and more bovine. Far less offensive than the Dominion Tank Police version of the Ultimate Deterrant (http://www.animejump.com/index.php?module=prodreviews&func=showcontent&id=522) - but the summoned cows find it rude.
Another good spell to stop pursuit.

I should note that, despite the silly name, this spell can be of great utility in a wide variety of circumstances, from getting out of a locked room when all you have is a pocketknife to dealing with pesky knots of the Gordian variety to destroying The Cursed Stone of Klott that nothing else has been able to penetrate.

[katal3]

tanky tanky (Idiotess for Thank you, Thank you, I really apperciate it)

[Curufea]

Ar but for Fant'sy Hero it belike "Thank 'ee, Thank 'ee guv" in reet old yorksheer style.

Note: Rock is the best, it beats scissors and paper. Throw a rock through a piece of paper you'll see what I mean. ;)

[Michael Hopcroft]

Everybody Must Get Stoned: Version 1 inflicnts the effects of severe alcohol intoxication on everyone within an area. Version 2 pelts them with rocks.

[Curufea]

Big Bees Clenched Fist
Minor transform - cast before a battle on large groups of enemies it prevents them from holding weapons. Or indeed anything that requires hands other than a fist.

[Cancer]

WTF
WTFOMG
WTFOMGLOL
A set of progressively-more-powerful SPD Drains, one turn only, causing targets (in effect) to lose one, two, or three Phases. Requires the caster to fail a Presence roll. Most often uses an OAF, often expendable.

The ultimate form is WTFOMGROFLMAO and can last multiple turns, but it almost always has a major Side Effect.

[BigJackBrass]

Mere Trifle

Turns any large body of water into a multi-layered dessert made of spongecake, jelly, custard and whipped cream.

I'll get my coat...

[Curufea]

Trivial Pursuit
A detection sense enhancement spell. Useful for finding a particual person or object. However the way the effect manifests is similar to large amounts of Luck. The object/person looked for will just happen to be in the same store, or be tripped over in the street. When the caster is desperately looking for the keys to the drawbridge, if she just sits down somewhere randomly and glances in a random direction, giving up all hope of ever finding the keys again, her eyes will just happen to fall on the location of the keys. Either that or she's sat on them. Or placed her hand on them accidentally.

[Fitz]

#$@! You and the Horse You Rode In On

This spell invokes one or two amorphous but very, ahem, friendly spirits which will engage the target (and his/her horse, if available) in some highly inappropriate physical contact.

I think it might be an EGO-based Entangle maybe?

[Michael Hopcroft]

#$@! You and the Horse You Rode In On

This spell invokes one or two amorphous but very, ahem, friendly spirits which will engage the target (and his/her horse, if available) in some highly inappropriate physical contact.

I think it might be an EGO-based Entangle maybe?
Damn You and the Horse You Rode In On!: Opens up a portal to Hell, through which both your foe and his mount are dragged for eternal torment beyond the power of mortals to imagine (the foe scraming hideous blasphemies, no doubt, and the hrose whinneying in panic, saying the Equine for "What did IIIIIIII DO?").

[Blue Jogger]

Never-Ending Summon: This spell summons 1,073,741,824 critters. The spell is unfortuately cheaper than one would think, since it will takes 25 years to summon all of them, but still produces roughly 16 1/3 per Turn.

Unfortuately the caster had a heart attack and died, but his spell still produces those annoying small blue creatures.

Summon 50 point smurf-like critters, 30 doublings (1,073,741,824), 160 Active Points, Independent (-2), Gradual Effect: 25 Years (-3 1/4), Extreme Side Effect always occurs (-2), 1 Charge that takes a Year to Recover (-3), Takes a month of research before casting (-5) 9 Real Points

:help:

[Curufea]

My ears are burning
A detection spell gone wrong. Possibly a miswording, or possibly just an overenthusiastic magic student went a bit too far.
Whenever anyone in the world starts talking about the target of this spell, their ears spontaneously combust.
If cast on dragons or demons, then they must have their true name specifically mentioned.

Curse of the Fatal Death
An anti-resurrection spell. Used by paranoid mages, or cast on people that they really, really, want dead. A triggered RKA of 10d6 damage NND does body. The trigger being when the target dies. The body is completely atomised. Some mages even go so far as to add a Change Environment to blow those molecules and atoms and disperse them in the wind.

[Manic Typist]

Wait, the target's ears combust, or the speaker's ears combust?

Either way: nice.

[Curufea]

I hadn't thought about it as an offensive thing with the speaker's ears combusting - that is a cute idea! I was just thinking of the proverb where the target's ears are burning when someone talks about them. Probably some form of curse.

[Basil]

Bigby's Crushing Familiar---The caster gets a new familiar: a rhino!

Find Evil---Evil finds you at the same time, if not a little earlier. Incantation is "Here bad guys! Come right here, I'll take you on; I'll take all of you on!"

Protection From Flesh---All flesh near the caster is thrust violently away; starting from the caster's bones outward!

Stone To Weapon---Involves the Gestures of picking up the stone and hitting something with it.

Enchanted Dead---The caster gains the ability to be incredibly charming, interesting, and attraactive to dead things. Not undead, dead.

Speak With Hand---The caster becomes master of all rude gestures.

[BigJackBrass]

Easy As Falling Off A Log
Causes movement rates to follow a logarithmic progression, but only if the GM is using miniatures and a hex map... :eg:

[Michael Hopcroft]

They'll Stone Ya When You're Trying To Be So Good: when cast in mass battle, pelts the side that is morally better (by whatever objective measure the GM finds appopriate) with a rain of rocks.

They'll Stone Ya Just Like They Said They Would: A rain of rocks falls on the target of the spell at some random point of time in the future, after the departure of the caster. Requires a long pronouncement of intent.

They'll Stone Ya When You're Trying To Go Home: At some point in time after the adventure, when the target is returning to their base of operations, they get pelted with a rain of rocks.

They'll Stone Ya when You're There All Alone: At some point in time in the future, when the target is in what he believes to be a "safe" location and there is nobody within visual range, he will be pelted with a rain of rocks (even if indoors).

[Blue Jogger]

Protection from Air, 10 Foot Radius
The ramifications of this spell was not realized by the first mage who thought he needed this spell. Change Enviroment: no air in a 10 foot radius. Anybody who does not get out of the area takes 3 BODY damage/phase. Note that two minutes under this spell will kill just about anything that needs air to breathe, especially the caster.

Bigby's Erotic Hands
Bigby's obsession with hand-based spells had caused great controversy late in his life as he learned that skill (Fine manipulation) rather than size was important. :rolleyes:
5 STR TK, Fine manipulation (+5 to give a total 18 or less)

[Karmakaze]

Find Hand - ritual: take opposite hand, place on elbow, feel downwards...

Exploding Familiar...

[BigJackBrass]

Safety in Numbers
Shields the caster in a swirling armour of equations, which can only be penetrated by working out their solution.

[DavidV]

Every consider the possibilities of a spell simply called:

Trip

1. Causes target to fall down

2. Causes target to leave on a vacation (or be teleported to some exotic vacation spot)

3. Causes target to behave as if he'd just dropped bad acid

Then you'd have:

The Ultimate Trip

What happens when you make judicious use of Linked to tie all three together in some strange order. Like: The target gets high, falls down, and comes to in Disneyland.

David

[BigJackBrass]

Shear Genius
Causes a massive boost in intelligence but also massively increased rate of hair growth. If the target cuts his hair then the spell is cancelled and intelligence is reduced to normal.

[Cancer]

You could do worse than summon up the monsters in Yellow Submarine.

Also, the Rosy Nose that Jeremy the Nowhere Man gives to the Boss Blue Meanie is pretty peculiar.

[Basil]

Instant Karma: The target receives all the punishments and rewards he "ought to have" received for all his deeds throughout his life. All of them. All at the same time. In general, the fuller the life the target has lead, the harder this spell is on him. Some accountants have been known to be completely unaffected by this spell.

We All Shine On: Everyone in the area of the spell's effect gives off light equivalent to that of a will-lit present day room -- for the rest of their lives (or until an appropriate Dispel is cast). This affects friend and foe alike.

[BigJackBrass]

Instant Korma
Transforms any item into a mild curried dish, served with rice and naan bread.

[Basil]

Glass Onion: This spell invokes a carving, in glass, of an ordinary onion. Other than causing a compulsion (in the caster) to hold it up to an eye and (try to) look through it, it has no magical effect and, frankly, no real use.

[Bismark]

Scissors beats paper AND rock: No Normal Defense (Defense is Being made primarially of Living Tissue; +1/2), Does BODY (+1) for up to 60 Active Points of Bladed Weapons, Variable Effect (any Bladed Weapon power one at a time; +1/4), Usable By Other (+1/4), Lingering up to 1 Minute (+3/4) (202 Active Points); Extra Time (1 Turn (Post-Segment 12), -1 1/4), OAF (Weapon This Spell Effects; -1), Gestures, Requires Gestures throughout (Requires both hands; Broad, sweeping, scissoring motions with the blade and your other hand; -1), Concentration, Must Concentrate throughout use of Constant Power (0 DCV; Must Concentrate on the phrase "One Musn't Run With Scissors"; -1), Incantations (Requires Incantations throughout; I call to thee oh Elemental Plane of Sharpness to endow my blade with the virtue of the most holy of Scissors!; -1/2)

My munchkin inner self has spotted something else potentially rather useful about this spell - it mentions living tissue as a defence. As it says nothing about unliving tissue - where are those pesky undead - "I'm comin' to get ya!" :D

[Curufea]

Instant Llama
A low cost summoning spell good for creating instant barricades, bridges or landfills of the Camelidae kind. Some stacking or weaving may be needed in order to make the barricades more stable.

[yamamura]

Sharpen the Enemy

This spell sharpens anything of an enemy from their intelligence to their weapons. Rumoured to been created by a mage who liked challenges.

Sharpen

When you need Sharp Cheddar and you need it now.....

[Blue Jogger]

Sense Danger
This spell gives the caster a sixth-sense of danger. However, a unknown side-effect is continual use will eventually give the mage a heighten sense of paranoia. And eventually, he start reacting to these dangers as if they were real (since his danger sense keeps telling him that he's in danger).

Unnatural Color
Luxor the Mad needed a spell to make colors so hideous that merely standing too close to them made one ill, or warmer, or colder, or any number of bizarre effects.

Change Environment 4" Radius (15 points), 10 points of Varying Combat Effects (10+10 points), Permenant until Dispelled or repainted (+20 points), 110 Active Points, Requires a bizarre color choice to cause the effect (Shocking Pink, Vertigo Violet, Red Hot, Icy Blue) (-1/2)

Tentacles of Blood
This spell causes blood to spray forth from the caster's (now opened) wrists forming blood-red, still dripping, tentacles made out of the caster's blood. (3" Stretching) Or they can be used to tie people up (Entangle).

[yamamura]

Tentacles of Blood
This spell causes blood to spray forth from the caster's (now opened) wrists forming blood-red, still dripping, tentacles made out of the caster's blood. (3" Stretching) Or they can be used to tie people up (Entangle).

Great now I won't be able to get to sleep.....

[Curufea]

Thank goodness no one mentioned Tentacles of [censored]
:)

[BigJackBrass]

Instant Korma's Gonna Get You
Transforms any item into a mild curried dish, served with rice and naan bread. The korma will immediately attempt to devour the caster, but on a successful PRE attack the caster can direct the korma to go for a different target.

Detect Railroading and Detect GM Fiat
Caster immediately becomes aware of arbitrary GM plot and situation manipulation. On a failed roll the caster instead becomes aware of the nearest railway lines or the gamemaster's small Italian car.

[Blue Jogger]

Blood Wine

This spell was originally used to preserve meat in a more appetizing fashion (then drying or heavy seasoning) by replacing the water in blood with alcohol. The wine was supposedly a favorite of certain fae.

However, in a heated discussion, Saenik who was not normally prone to violence, used this spell to prove how destructive spells lack the flair campared to transmutation.

The body, of course, was never found but Saenik said that the mage got his Just Desserts.

[Enforcer84]

SGT Pepper's Lonely Harts Club Band

Summons a group of militant, sneezy, bludgeon weilding, Deer-men. Who mostly sit around and yearn for their loved one's at home. They occasionally sing in four part harmony.

[Curufea]

Yoksoddoff
Summon eldritch horror. Can be used to dispel above summon :)

You should know better than to pick up a duck in a dungeon
Majar transform +5D6 Unluck. OAF duck. 1 charge. Independant. Trigger - picked up.

[Basil]

Missile Inflection: You gain a bizzare, and dangerous, accent.

Control Gravity: You have control over how seriously people act.

Reflection: You stop to consider your life, behavior, situation, and probable future.

[katal3]

"For a good time, call Snuggles the elf"
This powerful rune mage summons the grafitti demon known as "For-a-good-time-call-snuggles-the-elf" when his name is invoked. Note he hates being called by anything other then his full name, and if memory serves deals out a wicked nuggie. the only way to get rid of him, as I remember is pancakes. I can't be entirely sure as "...-snuggles-..." origionated in one of my parents old DnD games

[katal3]

(oh and better then tenticals ov mere blood)
Even's Spiked Tenticals of Forced Intrustion (Aka "ESTOFI")
"I'm not comfortable being grappled there!"

(source in this case is of course is Vaarsuvius, from "The Order of the Stick" webcomic)

[CrosshairCollie]

Find Your ***
Detect Buttocks, Discriminatory (Touch Sense Group), Gestures (both hands), OAF Roadmap

[Curufea]

I'd give it an activation roll though - as it so often fails to occur.

[Blue Jogger]

Arrange Marriages
Causes two non-consenting people to believe (or at least act) as if they are married by the laws of their people. Works best if the mage is known to be violent and/or unhinged.

Galatea or Romancing the Stone
Simular to Stone Golem Creation spells. The created statues are very attractive and often used for purposes best left unsaid.

Leomund's Secret Hut
This spell creates a wonderful hut that would make up to 8 people (including caster) very happy to sleep in overnight.... If they could only find it.

Leomund's Tiny Chest
This creates a really really tiny chest that can hold approximately one grain of rice, a flea, or other simular sized item. Unfortuately, it weighs as much as a normal fully-packed chest that holds 10 cubic feet of books. This spell seems to have parts mixed up with the Secret Hut.

Find Your ***
Detect Buttocks, Discriminatory (Touch Sense Group), Gestures (both hands), OAF Roadmap

"This is your ***. THIS is a hole in the ground. KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!"

Oh Zeus, You Randy Bastard You!: Shapeshift into whatever form will enable you to screw the person you have a temporary interest in, whether through charm, force, deception or simple stealth ("Why is that duck climbing my leg? How is he even doing it? Ducks can't climb -- oh my....") PLUS Transform: Human to Impregnated Human, which means that your willing, unwilling or merely bewildered paramour is going to give birth to your divinely-powered offspring. Even if they aren't fertile that day. Even if they're MALE, which is REALLY going to confuse them.

[Curufea]

That should be linked to a curse of unluck - the child will either have a terrible life, or be forced to go on great quests.

[Basil]

Summon Gun Bunny: A rabbit appears. Other than the metal tube poking out of its head, and the trigger and trigger guard poking from its tummy, it's an ordinary rabbit.

If you can catch it, and point its head towards a target, you can pull the trigger, which causes a bullet to be fired.

It also makes the rabbit explode, killing it. It is, obviously, a one-shot weapon.

[Curufea]

Create Gummi Golem
Requires 1000gp worth of sugar and gelatine. Flavour to taste.
Similar to other golems but its powers are sticky :)

[Kortay Mirlor]

Create Air

Transform, food and water into air.

Heck, just the reverse of all those "create food and water" spells. ;)

OK, Now I'll Touch It: For all those things you wouldn't touch with a 10' pole---here's an 11' pole!

Transform, Air into 11' pole (Major), 3d6, Std. Effect (+0) (Active 45), Gestures (-1/4), Incantations (-1/4), Extra Time (Full Phase, -1/2), Total cost: 22 points.

Pills that Mother gives You don't do Anything at All.
- - - transforms dry spell components or foci into useless chalk tablets.


Hookah smoking Caterpillar Has given You the Call
- - - message delivery service via some creature least likely to inpsire belief in message recipient.


White Knight is Talking Backwards
- - - the more god and/or heroic the target's Psych disads are, the more garbled his communications.

[Kortay Mirlor]

Flesh to Plush: Turns living animals (yes! that includes people) into fuzzy surfaced cute dolls.

Plush to Flesh: Undoes above spell. Cast onto other plush/fuzzy things the result is YECCH!

[Lucius]

This is more the way a spell backfired, but...

We were out to rescue a wizard who was being held near an artifact that muddled or suppressed magick (thus he couldn't rescue himself.) We were seeking a man with the stereotypical long flowing white locks of hair. We found a man in a cell alright, but he was bald. He told us all his hair fell out when he tried to cast a spell to get out and it misfired.

Lucius Alexander

The palindromedary wonders how many people will realize WHY it made his hair fall out.

[The Monster]

I Am The Walrus
A simple Shapeshift spell developed by northlands mages to disguise themselves as native animals. Less useful in tropical climes.
OAF spectacles.

You Ain't Nothin But A...
Another animal-Shapeshift spell, this one turns the unfortunate victim into a rather unattractive (and unhappy) mutt.

Speak With Dad: Allows the caster to ask their father for advice. Unfortunately, it often begins with "When I was your age...."

Improved Speak With Dad: As above, but response is usually in cash.

Undocumented Servant: Summons a socially invisible helper to perform tasks. Also available in a Wal-mart (245 at a time) version, but the Real Cost rises to $11 million.

Magic Missal: Summons a small prayer book, which may be thrown at enemies with complete accuracy, but not when Sister is looking.

OAF spectacles.
They Are The Eggmen
A more complicated Transform that alters human biological systems in ways best left uncontemplated.

[Lucius]

Vision of Unlimited Healing.

Images, Mental Illusions, and an Aid to CON and STUN.

Mental Illusions combined with the increased CON and STUN (so he doesn't feel the wounds as much) convinces the subject that he is healing wounds as soon as he recieves them. Images makes it look that way to everyone else too, which can be very impressive.

Unfortunately, the spell breaks if the subject falls over dead. And if they survive, when the spell ends and they realize how seriously they ARE hurt, hope they don't go after the castor for convincing them to fight on without realizing how badly injured they really were.

Animate Furniture
This spell summons a spirit to animate a piece of furniture, which then moves about in a very Disney-esque fashion. A varient summons little critters who will slavishly try to make you happy.

Whistle while you work
Whistling this helpful tune helps you by giving you extra REC.

Just a spoonful of sugar... In the most delightful way.
This enchantment placed on anything edible will help make everything delightful. As to be expected, this enchantment is addictive and fattening.

Anime Dead
Summons up legions of the undead, but they all look like Sailor Moon for some reason.

[BigJackBrass]

Summon Avatar
Causes a small picture to appear next to the caster every time he speaks (maximum 80 pixels).

[Curufea]

Helpful friends
Similar to animate furniture. You get +5 overall skill levels. The special effect of this spell is a swarm of different cute small woodland creatures which just turn up and behave in a disturbingly cute anthropomorphic fashion. Accompanying any singing appopriately if singing is taking place.

Ubiquitous Orchestra
Possibly a curse. Or disadvantage. Or a house rule for the genre.
Whenever the character enters or exits, their theme tune is played. Whenever the character sings, they rapidly transition from acapella to full accompaniment by an unseen orchestra.

[Michael Hopcroft]

Summon Whatever
when cast, this allows you to summon one creature of any type, chosen at random. It could be a mouse, a dragon, a demon, an angel, a badger, a termite.... anything. You'll never know until it appears.

Summons Person: casting this spell will cause the nearest person (other than the caster) to be given a writ from a court having jurisdiction, requiring said person to appear in court in answer to a suit being brought against him/her. The details of the suit are for the GM to decide, but should be appropriate to the person's recent actions.

IOW, the person is served a summons. :winkgrin:

Here's a good one:

Foysen Theft.

It was once believed that faeries could steal the "foysen" (food value) out of your food. You could eat and eat and still be hungry, and gradually starve to death.

I would guess this was an attempt to explain what was happening when someone had a parasite like a tapeworm, or perhaps a wasting illness.

In Hero terms, a spell like this is probably a Transform, either on the food or the person.

Paper Tiger

Rumored that this spell was created when a rival wizard complain bitterly that a Summoner's monsters were only "paper tigers". To make up for its obvious flaws, it usually is hidden in the pages of a book until the victim unknowingly releases it.

What time is it? It's Druid time!!: This spell can only be cast by a druid. It tells him the time, --- by dropping a complete megalithic circle around him! The caster then uses his druidic knowledge to tell the time, and walks away leaving the circle of stone right where they landed.

Of course, this means a lot of very big heavy stones dropped on the area around him (from about ten meters up), and those stones stay when the druid goes.

Lots of Side Effect only affects the environment near the character.

Everything but the Kitchen Sink

Target area is showered in all sort of kitchen equipment and accessories (including cabinets and counters). This results in a rather large pile. But there is no sink or associated plumbing.

Everything and the Kitchen Sink

A varient of the above that includes an old fashion porcelain coated cast iron sink at the end for good measure. :rofl:

[Curufea]

Butt Crack of Doom
Can only be cast after either of the above two are cast. Summons an interdimensional, overweight, low-slung-trouser wearing plumber.

[Michael Hopcroft]

You Are What You Eat
when cast on a person, this enables him to consume his own flesh without feeling any pain. Any bites he inflicts upon himself are instantly cauterized, meaning they will not bleed or become infected. This sort of auto-cannibalism is used when the alternative would be starvation: the damage the subject causes himself will heal at the normal rate and can be healed by spells or powers. Any lost appendages will not grow back unless magic or some other power is used.

[Curufea]

With Additives
This spell, when cast after the above allows you to be auto-condimented as well. You can choose from Spicy Mexican, Zesty Pepperoni, or Cheese Suprise flavourings.

[Basil]

You Are Who You Know: The next time the victim of this spell thinks of a friend or aquaintance (but not enemy), he turns into the person thought of, complete with that person's knowledge as of that moment. Thus, there's almost no way to convince him he's not who he thinks he is.


Never **** Anybody Crazier Than Yourself: This lifelong curse insures that any time the victim has sex with anyone (or anything), he will become slightly farther from "perfectly sane" than his sex-partner is (or, slightly less "perfectly sane" than he was before the sex, if he's "crazier" than the sex-partner already).

Create Frock

The original spell was designed to free people who had been transformed into stone. However, soon after the secret of transforming rock back into living flesh was revealed, this simplier spell came into use.

This spell simply transforms rocks and stones to the equivalent of amount of boneless flesh which when consumed, tastes just like chicken or perhaps iguana. Nobody is quite sure what frock is. Hence the phrase, "What the frock is that?"

[Curufea]

Well, there should then be a summon frock, dispel frock and prismatic frock spell :)

[Blue Jogger]

Well, there should then be a summon frock, dispel frock and prismatic frock spell :)

I suppose you could summon a still-living frock creature. Would that be a frock golem? (Sung to Rock Lobster, "Frock Golem!") Of course, thinking of prismatic frock makes me think that it is what a normal dragon eats to become a multi-headed chromatic dragon. :help:

[Michael Hopcroft]

The Curse of Babel
When cast on a large group of people, this spell makes all forms of communication among them impossible by causing each person affected to speak, read, write and even think in a unique language that is used by nobody else in the world -- including any other members of the target group or the caster. This makes all forms of cooperation or coordinated effort extremely difficult.

On a side note, we call dresses "frocks" here. Maybe it isn't slang elsewhere?

[Kortay Mirlor]

Create Frock: Out of thin air, you create this just darling little dress, with just the right accesories. It's just perfect for those marvelous little parties, those afternoon soiree's, and all of those wonderful times you and "the girls" get together.

Warning: causes gushing, speaking in simply italics my dear, and other empty-headed actions.

[Michael Hopcroft]

A "Prismatic Frock" would be something like what the version of Doctor Who played by Colin Baker wore; that style of jacket is actually called a "frock coat" (it was popular in the 1870's) and the only color that wasn't part of it was blue (which would have interfered with the effects photography).

[Basil]

Place Hold: This spell causes the written material it is cast on to be unmovable by anyone save the caster. NB: it can be harmed (ripped up, splashed with acid, burned, etc.) but even then the remains are immovable by any save the caster.

[Michael Hopcroft]

Place Hold II: when cast on a book or parchment being kept in any sort of archive, said document will be firmly fixed and immovable until the caster himself picks it up. The downside is that he must put said book back where he found it within three weeks or be fined three bronze pieces per day -- and you don't want to know who to and what lengths they will go to to collect....

Cast List: This spell causes a ship to tilt to one side. If kept up, the ship eventually sinks.

I was just thinking of an even weirder version of limited healing.
A set of steak knives.
Actually - cutting blades from two-handed size down to scalpel size.
Each blade will heal a wound of a blade one size larger - but in doing so creates a wound.
You end up going through all the cutlery down to the smallest to heal someone.

This sounds like something that would show up in the world inhabited by Captain Luffy T. Monkey and the crew of the Merry-Go. (Say, Surbrook's written up Luffy, hasn't he?).

I'd say that having the entire cargo "poofed" out of a ship would have an instantly noticable effect. Sort of a "my gods, we're in a giant elevator!" feeling. ;)


Hold Place: when you are in a long line, you can cast this spell, then wander off and do whatever you like. So long as you get back before the line advances too far, your place will be held. This spell comes in a number of varieties, differing only in what "holds" your place in line. The more socially acceptable varieties use things like an illusion of you, a summoned Incompetant Normal "friend," and so forth.

Less socially acceptable versions use things like Mucus Golems, self-aware semi-coherent flatulence collections, Disease Demons, etc.

Muwuhahaha The write up for the 'Healing Shiv'(TM)
Healing Shiv: Killing Attack - Hand-To-Hand 2d6 (2 1/2d6 w/STR), Required Hands One-Handed (+0), Reduced Endurance (0 END; +1/2) (45 Active Points); OAF (Shiv; -1), Side Effects, Side Effect occurs automatically whenever Power is used (4d6 Healing BODY + 1 DC/DC Added to HKA (by any means), Applied vs PD, Decreased Re-use Duration (Instant); -1), Real Weapon (-1/4)

Long Ago the first of these Shivs were created as a training tool for young assassins, the idea being that they could try out their best techniques with a real weapon, without the inconvience of burying the bodies later. However the enchantment proved to be very erratic, sometimes healing less then the damage dealt, sometimes healing more.
However unbeknownest to it's creator, some of these weapons fell into the hands of Emos and Guards, who found it a good way to kill time (and sometimes eachother) The Emo types liked it cuz it let them kill themselves over and over and get attention until they finally died tragicely, and among the soldiery it became an equally nilistist group activity where they would pass the blade around, each stabing themselves, until one of them finally keeled over...

Depends. In the right sort of cosmology, one in which every object, animate or inanimate, has a little bit of life in it, it's one of those subtle spells that can be really helpful. The office desk that remembers everyone who has come into the room and would gladly share that information if anyone knows how to listen could give all sorts of handy knowledge to the PCs.

[Basil]

Ah yes, misspelled spells.

A mage of great power, but insufficient schooling, tried to make a spell that would make it difficult to discern his features. He wanted "Blur," he got:

Burl: This spell creates a hard, woody, more-or-less hemispherical lump, such as is found growing on the side of some trees. It is useful to carve small ornaments, or smoking-pipes, out of, to turn into veneer, or to throw at enemies. Otherwise, this spell is a real dud.

[Robyn]

Ah yes, misspelled spells.

A mage of great power, but insufficient schooling,

This would explain why they all learn to read and write: the INT prerequisite is a social, not metaphysical, restriction.

How many of you ran up against the Typo Monster? Cast a fireball, it would (as a defense) turn that spell into a firebell.

[Michael Hopcroft]

The continually mis-firing powers of Little Red Riding Hood ChaCha (from the anime and manga of the same title) are a perfect example of this. She was an expert in summoning magic, but tended to summon the wrong things due to the Universe messing with what she said in ways that were awful puns. To make matters worse, the Universe was whimsical enough that when she tried to compensate for this problem, it would give her what she said she wanted anyway -- which usually was about the worst result she could ask for.

Getting a bull when you wanted a rabbit is not a good thing -- especially if you happen to be wearing a red cape at the time....

[Basil]

The same mage as before wanted to create his own version of "fireball." He tried twice before giving up.

Firebulb: This spell causes lightbulb to "pop" and burn. Since there weren't any lighbulb in that mage's universe, this was useless.

Fireball XL-5: Creates some really bad marionette stories, set in a Space Opera setting, to be played out. The stories are so inane, so tacky, so awful that many who see it are sickened. Turns out to be a useful spell, if the caster and everyone one his/her side if blind!

[Michael Hopcroft]

He should have given it a third try.

Firebell: A permanent spell cast on a building. Any fire bigger than that of a cookstove will cause the bell to peal, alerting everyone who hears it (and knows what it's there for) that there's a fire to be dealt with.

(I must spread some reputation around before giving it to Robyn again. Darn.)

Briarfall: All thornbushes, roses, blackberries, etc. die instantly.

Because When It Comes to Heads, there can be only One.
This spell grants massive bonuses to the recipient of this spell, but only if the recipient has but 1 head. Anything normally falling under this term applies, as such, clear-skinned women make up the greatest demographic applicable. Men of course can be effected, but it requires some serious surgery.

The Healing Shiv reminded me of one that I created (but never used):

Good Pain:
Healing was given to all clerics, but the Mistress of Pain still brooded. True, Her clerics need more healing than others, but it removed the pain and that she could not abide. So instead of standard healing, She gave the spell of Good Pain. It heals the wound, but leaves even more Pain.

XD6 Healing, does not heal Stun Damage (-1/4), Side Effect: Target suffers an impairing (or disabling effect if already impaired) for one day for every BODY healed in this manner. Plus +3 more days if limbs are healed, and don't ask how many for Resurrection. (-1/2)

It Only Hurts When I Laugh: This spell causes all pain to be "suspended" as it were, until the target laughs.

That is, the pain the target would ordinarily feel is delayed until the first laugh, guffaw, chuckle, giggle, etc. the target emits. At that point ALL the pain "saved up" is felt, all at once.

[Michael Hopcroft]

I Baked a SPECIAL Pie: You can enchant pies with various spell-like effects, which affect the target after he either eats the pie or is hit in the face with it. If multiple people eat the pie, they are all affected by the spell (you can affect up t six to eight people his way depending on how big the pie is). If you try to hit someone to inflict the effect, it must be in the face: no other part of the body will work. You can bake multiple pies with different spells in them, but if so it is up to you to keep track of which is which. If the pie is not used before it spoils (one way or another), its spell-carrying properties are lost.

Detect Stage Magic: You can tell when someone is pulling a rabbit out of a hat, sawing a lovely assistant in half, etc.

The Mumbo Effect: Enchants an item like a cane, a hat or a cape to give another person using it the power to warp reality in unpredictable ways, limited only by his imagination.

As for Understand Human, I'm reminded of a spell I wrote for Call of Cthulhu:

Summon Human (Lesser Independent Race)

To cast this spell, the caster must repair to a place known to be frequented by Humans, and recite an appropriate incantation loudly and repeatedly(examples include "Help!" "Fire!" and "Free Beer!") There is no Sanity loss for the spell itself, only the inevitable penalties to Sanity from extended dealings with the beings it summons.

Understand Women: The caster, if a man, understands the motivations, thinking, emotions, etc. of women fully and completely.

The problem is that the spell only works for a second and requires a unbelievably rare expendable focus. Something like diamond rings, tons of gold, etc.

I believe the sheep also exploded if clicked on many times :)

Baa Baa BOOM!: By casting this spell on a sheep, you cause it to explode. The explosion is a 7d6 Explosion with Area of Effect which utterly destroys the poor wooly baa-baa. Any other sheep in the area of the blast detonate as well, leading to a potentially devastating cascading chain reaction. It is probably safe to say this will not please any shepherds, sheepdogs, etc. in the area who survive the attack....

If a Tree Falls in the Woods: The druid is immediately teleported to a place in the woods where a tree has fallen less than a second before. If no trees in the entire world have fallen in the last second, the spell fails.

[Curufea]

I'd have it that there is a society of Druids who maintain a constant spell that teleports one of the society to a point near any tree that is about to hit the ground in a forest - just so they can hear it.

[Michael Hopcroft]

Does a Druid dropping dead alone in the forest make a sound?

The Sound of One Hand Clapping: During the duration of this spell, you can applaud with one hand while using the other for other purposes (fighting with a sword, writing a letter, picking a lock, etc.) and the performer won't know the difference.

[Curufea]

[Michael Hopcroft]

Ignore The Man Standing In The Middle of the Room: Cast to yourself or another person, it causes anyone in the vicinity not to notice the subject - he's still visible and audible, it's just that everyone "tunes him out" and doesn't care that he's present. The effect can be resisted with a successful Perception roll if one goes to the effort of making one.

[Basil]

If a tree falls in the forest and crushes a druid, does anybody care?

[Michael Hopcroft]

I See No Ferrets!: When cast, this spell renders and ferrets in the area of effect invisble for the duration of the spell. Useful not only for wizards with ferret familiars, but also when dealing with rodent problems.

Badgers! Badger! Badgers! Badger! Badgers! Badgers!: Summons a very large number of Ophidiophobic Badgers who love mushrooms.

[Michael Hopcroft]

Is Everybody Happy?: This spell induces a sense of amusement and enjoyment on everyone in the area of effect regardless of other circumstances. They could be fighting for their lives, suffering and dying, but they're having fun doing it.

Don't Worry, Be Happy!: When cast on a person under stress, the subject will completely ignore and forget the cause of that stress.

A few of my favorite things...

We were playing a bunch of mages in medieval Germany. And every winter, the temperature would drop to below freezing and all our little peasants would complain about how cold and miserable they were. :cry:

Now, my character was one of the few mages that actually cared about the peasants in that sort of "fae don't quite understand, but want to help" sort of way. So.... he pulled a spell from one of the old dusty books and started listing the items that he would need: "Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens. Brown paper packages tied up with strings." When asked what the spell would do, "It says here, 'and then I don't feel so bad.' There's a warning that the spell should only be used in the most desperate of times since it is really powerful."

They almost tried it, which would have caused the entire city of peasants to be singing "A few of my favorite things" for the spell's duration which was one season. :eg: Luckily (for them), wisdom prevailed.

And the peasants never complained how about how cold it got in the winter again. :rockon:

[Michael Hopcroft]

Whiskers on Roses and Raindrops on Kittens: You can cause a rainstorm that mutates plants and non-sentient creatures in unpredictable ways.

[Blue Jogger]

"Girls in white satin, all tied up in string... These are a few of my favorite things..." - Favorite intentionally misquoted line

Horse of a different color - This is your typical pocket statue that transforms into a horse. However, a minor glitch in creation led to the horse being white and brown splotches on it. (Too much cow bell.) Sometimes, it moos instead of whinnies.

Food that Mother Nature never intended - This was a typical Create Food spell, but due to a transmutation glitch, all the food created had the colors, textures, and flavors mixed.

[Michael Hopcroft]

Make Sandwich: You can summon any hot or cold sandwich into your hand. You can either eat it yourself or give it to someone else. Unlike most such summonings, this spell requires absolute silence.

[Silverhawk]

It's not Nutritious but it will keep you alive - another Create Food spell. The food created appears in a small tin (with the mysterious symbols Underwoodthat contains a pale paste like substance that tastes like Chicken.

Shouldn't that be "kinda tastes like chicken"? :p

[Silverhawk]

Yep, except when it says "Chicken" then its your guess is as good as mine.

[Michael Hopcroft]

There two kinds of creatures in the Universe: things whose flesh tastes like chicken, and chicken. :)

Detect the Blindingly Obvious" Lets you see what is right in front of you. Then it blinds you because it is so OBVIOUS

[Michael Hopcroft]

Detect the Blindingly Obvious" Lets you see what is right in front of you. Then it blinds you because it is so OBVIOUS

Conceal the Obvious: when cast on an area, it prevents the detection of anything or anyone in the area whose presence ought to be blindingly obvious, which may or may not include the caster.

Elephant in the Room: Summons an elephant into the middle of a living room or similar area, and prevents any discussion whatsoever, or verbal acknowledgment, of the pachyderm's presence. It could do anything it wished, from eating the furniture to dropping dead, and nobody would admit to noticing.

[Curufea]

Elephant in the Room: Summons an elephant into the middle of a living room or similar area, and prevents any discussion whatsoever, or verbal acknowledgment, of the pachyderm's presence. It could do anything it wished, from eating the furniture to dropping dead, and nobody would admit to noticing.

Offspring in the Room: Summons your child into the room (or the child just wanders in, feeling bored and not the centre of attention). Otherwise has the same effects as the spell Elephant in the Room.

[Blue Jogger]

Make Sandwich: You can summon any hot or cold sandwich into your hand. You can either eat it yourself or give it to someone else. Unlike most such summonings, this spell requires absolute silence.

The counterspell is, of course....
You've made Your Sandwich, now you have to lie in it.
This spell enlarges any magical created sandwiches in the area to the size of a queen-size bed. If the creator of said created sandwich is nearby, he feels an overwhelming need to lift the top piece of bread and lettuce (if it is there) and crawl on in. The sandwich is still edible, but it does not provide any more nurishment than if it was still normal size.

[Blue Jogger]

Summon Like Chicken
Summons that strange creature that is part snake, part chicken, part pig, part lizard, part ostrich, and part turtle that all meat seems to taste exactly the same as this creature. Not to be confused with Summon Light Chicken which either glows in the dark or is weightless or both.

OMGWTFBBQ
Saying these phrase summons BBQ fried chicken from your diety. The caster must be genuinely surpised. Summons 3d6 pieces.

[Michael Hopcroft]

Of course the sandwich is still edible, as is the caster for that matter.

Hey, Brunhilde! Beer Me!: You can summon a bottle or mug of the beer served in the Halls of the Gods. You and only you can drink it. It has only the same effect as ordinary beer but it is, however, very, very good beer.

[BigJackBrass]

Don't Worry, Be Harpy

Transforms the target into an ugly bird-woman with a hankering to spoil food. However, they're no longer worried.

[Blue Jogger]

Of course the sandwich is still edible, as is the caster for that matter.

"Because a sandwich is just a sandwich, but a Manwich (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manwich) is a meal."

[Michael Hopcroft]

For Those About to Rock, We Salute You: Transforms a large group of people to stone. The trigger is the caster making any gesture that the subjects would perceive as deferential. If it's a gesture that would actually insult the subjects, the spell doesn't work, making it iffy against people whose culture you are not familiar with (such as orcs if you're human).

The alternative version

We Will, We Will Rock You:

This version doesn't require the deferential gesture but does require a rhythmic clap and stomp that goes Clap Clap Stomp, Clap Clap Stomp

[Blue Jogger]

Rock you all night long

This spell only lasts for a few hours (despite the spell's title). However, many have been quite satisfied with the results. If this spell lasts for more than four hours, you might have to consult with a cleric for a dispel magic. This spell should not be used on people with high blood pressure or with known heart problems or vows of chasity.

[Curufea]

I'd also add - going into combat while this spell is in effect (and you are male) will give you 1/2 DCV

[Robyn]

Head-turning Beauty: As you walk around, say, a park (yes, idea inspired by jkwleisemann (http://www.herogames.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1219904&postcount=2) ;)), there will be visible reactions. The surprising part is that these will come from everywhere, including those who are not quite human. Even inanimate objects such as trees, flowers, and light poles will turn to look as you go by.

Sadly, this spell has no effect on humans, who are oblivious to the caster's beauty.

[Fireleaper]

I recently was converting the concept of one of my 3.5 DND characters over to hero. The character is meant to be a master conjuror so i gave him an unusual spell:

Conjure Least Servants: summon up to 16, 75pt normals, any normal (+1/2), Specific Being (+1); 87 active; incantations (-1/4), Guestures (-1/4), OAF (calling card or similar equivilent, -1) 35 real (in a multipower so it became 3 real)

The calling card is primarily a method of game balance as otherwise he would of been able to summon ANY normal, not just those who he essentially has a connection to.

[Curufea]

Having just got Knights of the Nine for Oblivion and finishing that, I thought I'd have a look at some of the mods out for the game. There are some quite neat ideas here-

Bring out the tiger in you! Summon ordinary tiger, Linked HKA Indirect NND (defense is having inwardly-oriented PD) Does Body :sick:

Um, why limit it to just male? I don't see any reason for that.... ;)

"Like every fan, I have a little kid inside of me, struggling to get out. God, I hate indigestion...."

However, I think what the Kellogg's people had in mind was actually more like this --

Show 'Em You're a Tiger: Uses a variation of the Images power to make yourself appear to be a were-tiger, combined with a PRE boost to make yourself look more intimidating and powerful than you actually are. S this would be written up as a few dice of Image plus a 4d6 Aid to PRE.

[Blue Jogger]

Actually, I picture it more like this...

Show 'Em What You Can Do

This spell placed on any meal, forces the metabolic energy to be released in a much faster rate giving them +4d6 REC over the course of 5 minutes soon after eating the meal. (Look at the commerical, those kids CAN'T have a 2 REC, they just CAN'T.) The side effect, which always occurs when the spell ends, is the equivalent STUN drain. The material component is a cup of sugar which is sprinkled over the meal which coats much like the morning frost.

And since we're on the subject of breakfast cereals...

Pink Hearts, Yellow Moons, Orange Stars, and Green Clovers

This spell is used by cornered leprechauns to avoid being captured. The 1D6 AP RKA, 10 Shot Autofire is usually enough to convince gold diggers to go elsewhere. The damage comes from the speed of which these items are thrown, otherwise they are soft shapes that happen to be magically delicious.

(Look at the commerical, those kids CAN'T have a 2 REC, they just CAN'T.)

This has been explained to me as a low END cost for lower SPD.

[Blue Jogger]

This has been explained to me as a low END cost for lower SPD.

Well... Techinically the math doesn't work out. :ugly:

Small Child has a half the recovery of a Average Person. In fact, all things being equal, Small Child should be as active as a Senior Citizen, which is exactly as an Average Person who paces himself to exactly what a 5 STR, 1 SPD person can do. Oddly enough only the Average Person has the extra speed or stength to exhaust himself faster than the other two. It's a mechanics quirk.

But the secret formula in Hero for "always on the go" for your Average 8 STR, 2 SPD, 5" Run type of person turns out to be 9 REC (using LTE rules) or 4 REC without. If you use the Encumbrance rules, this assumes no more than 37 pounds worth of carrying weight.

Snooze Button: This condition (which can be inherent, or added to a person by a spell) is a moderate to large mole or wart that, when pressed firmly, puts the person to sleep for nine minutes.

[Michael Hopcroft]

Snooze Button: This condition (which can be inherent, or added to a person by a spell) is a moderate to large mole or wart that, when pressed firmly, puts the person to sleep for nine minutes.

Wake Me When the Sun Comes Up: When cast on a person it will cause them to sleep soundly until a set time (which has to be some sort of measurement the subject can comprehend; you can't say 'seven o'clock" to someone who doesn't know what a clock is) and instantly become fully awake at that exact time. The only way to wake them sooner is to Dispel the spell. If anything, the alarm function may be less significant than the subject getting a period of undisturbed rest at times he otherwise wouldn't.

Time for a Quick Nap: You can induce a "cat-nap" like state on yourself or others; restfully and peacefully asleep, yet instantly alert when disturbed. Not popular among professional guards, who consider it cheating.

[Curufea]

The Snoreless Curse
When cast on a snorer will cause a benign, but somewhat painful buboe to grow on the victims back. It only causes pain if the victim ever sleeps on their back, thus they becomed conditioned to sleep on their side and stop snoring.

Invented by a rather short tempered witch primarily for her husband.

Enchants a goblet or glass of any alcoholic beverage to the effect that the imbiber gains the delusion that every member of the appropriate gender group within sight range has gained an additional 1d6 COM.

[Michael Hopcroft]

I Yam What I Yam: You can transform any non-magical inanimate object in your field of vision that is made of organic material (not stone or metal) into a number of yams equal to its mass. The yams stand in a pile where the object once was, and can be moved, stored or cooked and eaten as if they were ordinary yams. A variation of Food Creation magic that has other sneaky and nasty uses; it can be handy when used on a wooden door or a wooden house.

[Blue Jogger]

Mood-changing Spells (also makes good potions)

Empathy - This spell helps prevents someone from Enraging or going Berserk, but as side-effect produces a lot of crying, apoligizing and, of course, empathy. Opposite of Rage.

Rage- This spell helps some go Enrage or Berserk, sometimes just using the spell is enough to trigger the Enrage or Berserk As a side-effect, the target is more violent and anti-social. In some, the effect manifests less in outward rage and a slow painful vengeance. Opposite of Empathy.

[Curufea]

Empathy - much
