Nigel's Tome of Ill-Advised Spellcraft.


ANTI-SPELL CASTING

To protect from magics here, at this present time,
Make my enemies before me unable to rhyme!

BANISH

By arcane oath and eldritch spell
Banish my enemies now to Hell!

BLIND

Offending creatures who seek to hinder our plight.
I remove from my enemies the gift of sight!

BONES TO JELLY

My enemies now melt, much more than kneel,
Their bones liquify and their blood congeal!

CHARM

Before we find ourselves in early graves,
Make these creatures my obedient slaves!

COMMUNE

I commune with gods above in circumstances dreary,
May they take pity and answer the following query!

COMPELL TRUTH

By white arts, these foes shall be ensorcelled and spelled,
To speak naught but the truth they shall now be compelled!

DAMAGE REFLECTION

We take no damage to our body, limb or head,
Reflect the damage back to the attacker instead!

DANCE OF DEATH

Hear me!  Lords of the Dance!  Possess feet, heels and toes!
An unstoppable dance be the death of my foes!

DEATH RAY

At will as I point at foes, in truth,
From my fingertip a death ray will shoot!

DETECT MAGIC

The point of my weapon will detect magic around,
Power sensed increasing the speed of a beeping sound!

DETECT TRAPS

To avoid death or injury by clumsy lapse.
I cast a spell before us to detect all traps!

DISPELL UNDEAD

Foul semblance of life!  Desist and cease!
As I send thy souls to eternal peace!

ENCHANT WEAPON

To enable us to strike our foes, I invoke and incant,
Transmute our weapons to silver and with magicks enchant!

ENLARGE

With proportional strength my party now grows,
Until as giants we tower over our foes!

FEAR

All who try to attack or approach me here.
Will now flee 'til exhausted from abject fear!

FIREBALL

A ball of flame against my foe.
A fireball infernal I now throw!

FLESH TO STONE

The medusa's touch on flesh and bone
All who meet my gaze be turned to stone!

FLIGHT

To myself and party within my sight
I grant the power of controllable flight!

GROIN PULL

You will rue the day!  Will regret you'll be full!

As I inflict you now with a painful groin pull!

HEAL

In perfect health we will feel
When my party I do heal!

HEAT/COLD WARD

Neither the cold's frozen grip nor burning touch of fire!
I ward from these extremes in this situation most dire!

HOLD MONSTER

Stopped in mid-stride and frozen in place.
Forces unseen hold my foes in this space!

IDENTIFY

Identify this artifact here before us
Tell us what it does by godly chorus!

IMMUNE TO HARM

By the aid and power of this charm
I render my party immune to harm!

IMPLODING HEADS

I relieve my foes of a worrisome load,
As I cause their heads to painfully implode!

INVISIBILITY

I render my party invisible to sight and smell
Except, of course, to each other by means of this spell!

LIGHT

To throw back the darkness and its black blight,
My weapon shall shine forth with holy light!

LIGHTNING BOLT

I harness the powers of the storm and the sky,
Against my enemies let lightning fly!

MONSTERS TO BUNNIES

I transmogrify my foes into shapes not the norm,
Instead into lovable bunnies they now will transform!

NEUTRALIZE POISON

To cleanse the blood I recite this spell by rote
And neutralize poison with arcane antidote!

NIPPLE RINGS TO SILVER

Silver is deadly to wearbears.  It is the truth.
So to silver their nipple rings, I now transmute!

PROTECTION FROM EVIL

From evil's grasp we shall be safe and such.
A ward I cast so that they cannot touch!

RAISE DEAD

Return to the world of mortal strike!
My party members return to life!

REGENERATE

Bones knit and flesh regrow in direst of straits
From part to whole my party regenerates!

REINCARNATE

Return dead fallen to thy comrade's side!
Reincarnate as <insert race or creature> and living bide!

REMOVE CURSE

By eldritch invocation clipped and terse
I weave a spell to remove this curse!

REPEL

Myself and my party I now surround,
With a force field to make all foes rebound!

REVERSE GRAVITY

I free my foes from gravity's grip, without a trace.
Untied to this earthly sphere, watch them fly into space!

REVERSE TIME

A do-over is needed so hear my rhyme
To start this scene over, I now reverse time!

SHRINK

I shrink all my foes within my sight
Until they are only ten inches in height!

SILENCE

Against the foul effects of sound I have conferred
Protections so that harmful sounds will not be heard!

SINK

Here's an arcane spell to confuse and vex,
Sink these creatures in the ground up to their necks!

SLOW

I cast a curse against my foe
To make them move ten times as slow!

STONE TO FLESH

Blood flow once more, hearts beat in breast!
Transform these victims from stone to flesh!

STRENGTH

I win I shall go to any length,
I now grant my party giant strength!

SUMMON GUARDIAN

A stalwart hero's call!  Both fortune and fame!
I summon <insert name>, Guardian of the Flame!

SUMMON ITEMS

Powers benevolent hear my voice!  Head my plea!
I safely summon <insert item(s)> here before me!

TELEPORT (chasm)

To the other side of this gap on solid ground
After teleporting my party will now be found!

TELEPORT (location)

I teleport us all, whole and intact
To <insert location> and that's a fact!

TIME STOP

Except for me, time stops for foe and friend,
Until I choose to yell, 'TIME IN," again!

TONGUES

All gathered here will understand and speak
Each others language and communication seek!

WATERBREATHING

Not only air can sustain us but waters that seep,
We can breathe in the depths of the watery deep!

WEAKNESS

I defeat my foes in a thrice with a snap,
As from their limbs all their strength I now sap!

WISH (restore party)

I wish all my party to be here at my behest
Hale and hearty as they were at the start of this quest!

X-RAY VISION

Many chests contain traps which I cannot abide
X-ray vision will let me see safely inside!
