As part of a setup for a future adventure, I'm looking into the possibility of a scroll spell casting blunder leading to a certain situation. The rules for what happens on a blunder leave quite a bit of wiggle room, which is great, but I want to know if this sounds plausible.
Suppose a wizard or sorcerer has a scroll of Polymorph, but it is above his level. While he is off alone, he attempts to cast this spell from the scroll, but fails his check, and it results in a blunder. Could the caster end up being permanently polymorphed and unable to speak? Thus, he'd be unable to end the effect and have a very difficult time communicating his problem to others.
If that is plausible, I'll use it. Otherwise, I need to figure out some other way within the 3.5 rules to get a caster stuck in an unusual form that he can't get himself out of easily.
