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.

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.

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

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).

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.

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.

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.

"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

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.

I couldn't resist reposting this....

 

Everybody Must Get Stunned

 

(to the tune of Dylan's Everybody Must Get Stoned.)

 

They'll stun you when the damage rolled is more

Than Defense plus your Constitution score.

They'll stun you even though you are a hero,

Your Defensive Combat Value drops to zero

But you need not feel alone, undone;

Everybody must get stunned!

 

 

They'll stun your superhero, that's not all

They'll stun you and they'll knock you through a wall.

They'll stun you with this power, spared no expense;

It's Area Effect and No Normal Defense.

Who has Life Support? No one?

Everybody just got stunned!

 

 

They'll stun you with some comic book villain trick

They'll stun you when they hit you with a brick.

They'll stun you, you keep coming back for more.

They'll stun you with a move-through at mach 4.

Sonic boom? Yes, it's a big one!

Everybody just got stunned!

 

 

They'll stun your knight in armor with such force

They'll stun you and they'll knock you off your horse.

They'll stun your wizard, gargoyle, and your troll

They'll stun you when you miss your magick roll.

The dragon sneezed on everyone!

Everybody just got stunned!

 

 

They'll stun detectives, spies and other such

They'll stun you if they think you know too much.

They'll stun you, now you've solved the case at last

If you can get untied before the blast.

I don't care how fast your guy can run -

Everybody just got stunned!

 

 

They'll stun your black belt, lock up all his joints

They'll stun you with their secret pressure points.

They'll stun you with their martial arts so strange.

They'll stun you with a shotgun at close range.

Hey! Where'd that ninja get a gun?

Everybody just got stunned!

 

 

They'll stun you any time or any place

They'll stun you when you venture into space.

They'll stun your crew and take your ship in traction

If you don't take some fast evasive action.

But you can't fly a spacecraft through a sun!

Everybody just got stunned!

 

(Edited to correct the spelling of "villain." Lots of people misspell that word. Which only makes it more annoying, I suppose. Funny how just before reposting this, I posted "Mispeld Herro" in "Genres Hero Games Should Avoid....")
