I thought it might be fun to spice up the PHB spell book without going to the trouble of making all new spells. Instead, in this game we'll take the existing spells and give them new names and new descriptions except they have the same game mechanics.

Example: Falling Leaf (as Feather Fall) The caster produces an ordinary leaf which grows in size to 6 feet long, then, clutching the leaf at both ends he drifts harmlessly towards the ground.

Example 2: Corpse Flower (as Stinking Cloud) The caster summons a corpse flower in full bloom which reeks of rotting flesh. (The corpse flower is the largest flower in the world and when in bloom produces a scent so foul that most people can't come near it)

See? Same spell, different flavor. Now I'll post the Next Spell and the next person who posts has to come up with a variant of that spell, then leaves another spell for the next person.

Next Spell: Sleep

sleep: The caster blows the dust from an opium poppy onto the target.
sleep: The caster reads from the resident directory of Greyhawk, alphabetically.

(With that, I suspect this thread will fade away. Giving "alternate flavor text" is the responsibility of every player trying to un-genericize his or her caster in the first place.)
