(mostly harmless) burst of magical energy
from beneath their feet that cycles through

lightning.
74 The sky darkens and lightning flashes. A

the ordinary occurs.

their voice goes up an octave every hour
until they sleep again. When they sleep

manifests is up to the DM. For example,
the spell Fireball may instead be a ball of

instead of damaging.
78 The next item the caster touches replicates

when the local villagers will bear children.

item which calls out to one or more of the
PC’s to be found and wielded.
90 The PC’s become magically compelled to
travel in a conga line whenever they are
not in combat.
