1001 Stupid or harmless Living Spells [Archive] - Wizards Community

09-10-07, 02:07 AM The two examples in the Eberron Campaing Setting were quite dangerous ones. But it's still possible to have stupid or harmless living spells.
Here we go :

1. Detect Magic

2. Create Food and Water
(my players had kept it in a bag of holding. it's like a free ring of sustenance, for every one who touch it!)

3. Ghost Sound
(think of a permanent, moving brown note.)

4. Prestidigitation

5. Antimagic Field

6. Hallucinatory Terrain

7. Teleportation Circle
Sajek
09-10-07, 05:02 PM 5. Antimagic Field

7. Teleportation Circle
Those two are far from harmless.
4. Prestidigitation
...With permanent Morality Undone!? :mymy:

09-10-07, 05:15 PM 8) Disrobe (spell from BoEF that removes clothing) :D

9) Reverse Gender (also from BoEF)

10) Permanency (coupled with the spells above, this could be deadly...)

Deadly for the caster. You know how some people get about loosing their genetalia and having to grow a whole new sexual identity.

09-10-07, 06:03 PM 8) Disrobe (spell from BoEF that removes clothing) :D

9) Reverse Gender (also from BoEF)

Those, while the idea is funny, can't be done as living spells, since they are targeted spells.

10) Permanency (coupled with the spells above, this could be deadly...)
lol
this can be even more dangerous since living spells can be composed of more that one spell... :evillaugh

09-10-07, 06:26 PM There is a spell in the Sword and Sorcery book, Relics and Rituals called "unbuckle." It's a third level spell that unbuckles all buckles and clasps within a 10 ft. radius burst, range 100ft. +10/lvl.

09-10-07, 06:31 PM this one is funny. teleport. Try to attack it and... buh bye

09-10-07, 06:39 PM Those, while the idea is funny, can't be done as living spells, since they are targeted spells.
Aww, thats no fun. Well, I do play our world's god of dark magic, so I can always alter the spells to be an area burst. :evillaugh
Wow, I think I just found a new minion. Living Reverse Gender. I'll unleash them upon the countryside to create all manner of angst and emotional issues. It'll be helluva fun.....well, at least until those damn adventures kick my door in...
lol

hehe, but targeted spell too.
But Teleportation Circle does the same job... and the destination is always the same (defined at the creation of the living spell).

09-10-07, 07:17 PM Thinking about it, does it say anything about conflicting spell alignments being together?
Label
09-10-07, 07:28 PM nope. spells only have to be area or effects, no targeted spells or no effetc that would result in a creature/summon or the like.

09-10-07, 07:45 PM So a living defenestrating sphere is fair game? Couple that with a cyclonic blast and you've got a hilarious, high-flying fun time.
ArgulFraster
09-10-07, 08:33 PM I made a Living Mordenkainen's Disjunction once. It was...rather odd. I decided that if you dealt it enough damage it explodes and casts its spell effect.

Here's some more.

11) Living Beer Goggles (BoEF, I read about five pages once when I was browsing sourcebooks)
12) Living Dancing Lights
13) Living Minor Image (Gee, look, we got existensial angst as an ooze.)
14) Living Crushing Despair (yes, it might be dangerous, but imagining an Emo Ooze is hilarious, especially as it's immune to slashing weapons.)
15) Living Animal Messenger
16) Living Wish (Actually might be dangerous, but the results would be hilarious.)
17) Living Otto's Rhinestone Pants (from the 1001 Silly Spells thread) A mass of glue and rhinestones that attempts to make everything "fabulous!"
18) Living Fabricate (Sudden forests of furniture! Help!)
19) Living Spider Climb
20) Living Insanity (I wonder what it would look like...?)
dman11235
09-10-07, 08:38 PM 21)Living Reverse Gravity.
22)Anti-Life shell.
23)Plant growth.
24)Prying Eyes.
25)soften earth and stone

What would these do? Nothing.

It doesn't work for the template, but I just love the name:
26) living slay living.

09-11-07, 05:41 PM Lesser versions of dangerous living spells (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/archeb/ls)

Acetic Acid Arrow (Su) A creature hit by a living acetic acid arrow's slam attack or engulfed by it becomes drunk.

Harmless? Facial Hair? you, sir, it appears, have not played a dwarf!

09-11-07, 08:28 PM Living Alarm: Everytime you hit it, it dings!
Raynx
09-11-07, 08:37 PM 32) Living True Strike
All hits made by it and against it get a +20.
33) Living Mage Armor
It looks like a translucent chain shirt, and it tries to attack you by making you wear it.
34) Living Shield
It looks like a translucent heavy steel shield, attacks your off hand, and proudly stands upright when targeted by Magic Missile.

*NOTE* I may not be following the set rules for living spells.

true strike is personal, and the two others are touch spells. but they would have been funny!

09-22-07, 01:09 PM 35) Living Ghost Sound: Beware of the fart!
36) Living Enlarge Person: Attack of the 50foot tall everything!
37) Living Reduce Person: Attack of the midgets!
DoomedHero
09-22-07, 04:53 PM Does this work with Psionics?

Ectoplasmic Cocoon. "Eewww. What is this stuff?"

Mass Missive. Then give the spell the personality of Gilbert Godfried.

Mind Switch. It effects multiple targets, (you and another thing), but i'm not sure if it qualifies.

I'm Nuetral Evil, immortal, and bored. Who knows what I might do!

Read the entry on Crawling Claws in Monsters of Faerun. Then give them the ability to animate the hands of things they kill.

Nothing says fun like a sea of disembodied hands roaming the countryside.
snakeman830
09-22-07, 09:19 PM 391. Living Find the Temple (Always can tell you where the nearest temple of Farlaghan is for when you need a rest)

If metamagic is allowed in creating these things:

392. "Find the Temple" tactical nuke.
General_Ridley
09-22-07, 09:38 PM Living Prismatic Chastity Belt (Encyclopedia Arcane: Nymphology) would be funny.
lunoc
09-22-07, 09:53 PM living create magic tattoo
beware the ultimate tattoo artist!!!
living detect self (from the 1001 silly spells)

"hello i am the living spell of conciseness, no im not going to try and eat you, but i would like to discus our perspective theories on the nature of, oh? whats that? no theories eh? well ill start and you can...blah blah blah"

harmless?
Silver_Bulette
09-22-07, 11:02 PM Living Arcane Mark
On a successful hit, have it print a message on the victim, i.e. "im on ur forehead, killing ur mOOdz". Possibly used as budget security in an apprentice wizard's study?

Just ewwwwww.....
Japan_the_cougar
09-25-07, 04:27 AM Boy, I wish I had a living raise dead for this thread, but it's a targeted spell.

I saw a living atonement in somebody's sig once. "Young cleric, you have strayed from your beliefs. Now let the giant puddle smack you in the head and all is forgiven."

Living Ventriloquism: After the battle, everyone thinks your voice is coming from behind them.

Living Invisable Sphere: This could be funny if it hits somebody and suddenly they both disappear...until someone moves.

Living Rainbow Pattern: I don't think I need to go into too much detail here.

Although it isn't harmless, I kinda like the name: Living Circle of Death.

Likewise: Living Undeath to Death.

09-26-07, 01:32 AM Living clone -Leaves corpses wherever it goes

Could be useful to a Necromancer.

Karish
09-26-07, 02:09 PM Assuming you allow it to be a targetable spell, which just effects every object it touches:

Living Continual Flame

Makes everything covered in heatless fire that does no damage and consumes nothing. That would be silly.
ChimericalWolf
09-26-07, 02:14 PM While only sort of related, I always wanted an Eberron wizard to have a miniature Living Detect magic as a familiar. When sensing magic, it burbles and glows a color depending on the school! Loves to perch on top of people's magic items, and prefers to sleep on the fighter's sword.
