If you fail, you can spend your bonus action to cast as normal, or you can choose to defile, or you can choose to not cast at all. If the spell was cast as a reaction or bonus action, you can only choose to defile or not cast. Ritual casting you can automatically succeed if you choose.Defiling has no hard and fast mechanical effects other than killing the vegetation around you, destruction proportionate to the spell level (maybe a 5ft sphere for cantrips to level 3 spells, 10 ft for level 4-6, etc). But that sort of destruction is going to add up in world fast.</blockquote>
