Default Typo Spells

These are great. I suggest on a 17+ when casting a normal spell, the typo spell is what gets cast. Of course, it would be great to expand the list. So if you roll 17+ when casting a Summon Bear, you pay the full ST cost and successfully cast a Summon Bead spell.

"OK, are you going to renew the Summon Bead spell you cast last turn?"

Maybe even an XP bonus if the *player* comes up with a good one.

"I summon Bear"
OK - - Typo - You are now holding a tankard of beer.

"Hmm - OK, I cast the spell again, and hand the other tankard to my opponent." - - "Let's call this fight off, and head back down to the tavern"

Default Re: Typo Spells

  • Freak Weapon: Makes a weapon grow weird confusing appendages. Historically someone cast this on a glaive, or maybe a guisarme, and nobody's been clear on the terminology since.
  • Fire Call: All fires and fire elementals move toward the caster at MA 4.
  • Allusion: "You know what this is like, it's like that famous thing that you will have heard of if you make your IQ roll."
  • Summon Fear: "We have nothing to fear but ... oh, here it is."
  • Ear Vision: Can see out your own ears, but view may be affected by ear hair.
  • Slop Movement: Controls soups, porridge, etc.
  • Contusion: Ow.
  • Fore: When shouted before a golf shot, causes it to fail in an embarrassing way.
  • Dirk Vision: aka Dagger-cam (tm).
  • Lack/Knack: Target loses a talent at random.
  • Revere Missiles: Target believes any ordinary missile he sees is in fact the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, and acts accordingly.
  • Summon Lesser Lemon: Some demons have learnt to disguise themselves as lemons so casters let down their guard.
  • France: All game units are restored to metric.

And not a typo but:
  • Destroy Creation: Destroys the universe.

Summons Bear, roll 18: You fall to the ground and a very large, soft, stuffed bear lands on top of you.

Summons Bear: On a roll of less than 18 he gives you a supoena.

I like these!

Worthy heirs of the Magic Fish!

"Heirs of the Magic Fish" is either my GWAR tribute band or a private society within the Wizard's Guild that researches typo spells and tries to make them work.

Autocorrect Spell failure
  • On a 16 it changes your spell to a spelling similar to the spell you spelled.
  • On a 17 it radically changes your spell into something Hilarious or Diabolical.
  • On an 18, it radically changes your spell, fatigues you 4 points, lowers your IQ by 1 until you REST 15 minutes.
The alternate is
On an 18 it radically changes your spell and makes you go beserk.

I really got a chuckle out of that one.

"Satan Claus"
The Evil Twin of Santa Claus

You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
Because you're going to die
Satan Claus is coming to town

He's making a list
He's checking it twice;
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Satan Claus is gonna burn your town

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows when you've been bad or good
So you better be gone for goodness sake!
