d30 Magical Mishaps

These are the thirty Officially Recognized Classes of Magical Mishaps for which students at the Academy of the Imperial Science (of Bonham, the Three-Lobed City and Seat of State of the Republic of Aalor) are trained in their Emergency Response courses.

I thought I might note how each of these mishaps would affect EVERY SINGLE OD&D SPELL but after copying out the 1st-level spells from Delta's Book of Spells I decided I'll just play Risus. So, the rule is whenever you use a sorcery cliché (or some such) and the dice come up 13 you have to take a mishap roll. There will less chance of mishaps if the 13 result is a success.

This table probably requires more referee interpretation than it should. (That's weasel-talk for Some of these result just don't make any sense.) I wrote it that way just so it would be a list of Latinate nouns-derived from-verbs. Are there eggs involved? Happy Easter!

Then you'll want to see who or what to apply the effect to:

Target

1. Caster
2. Intended Target
3. Other Target (among the people and/or monsters nearby)
4. Spell in Caster's Mind
5. Spell in Caster's Spellbook
6. Spell not in caster's mind
7. Original spell itself
8. The general area

(So I guess I'm playing Risus with D&D-type spellcasting. Yes, I believe that's correct.)
