experimental magic system: caster check

just an update: i'm now in the process of creating failed check results for each spell in the PHB. some are obvious: fireball blows up in your face, power word blind blinds the caster permanently. some are not so obvious: resurrection raises a zombie on a failed roll, tree shape is permanent.

has there been an attempt in any supplement to quantify spell mishaps? it may save me some time...

thanks,
abe.

ps... i also made this ruling on wands and other magic items: they grant a bonus on caster checks. for instance, a willow wand will add either +5 or +10 to caster checks made to cast transmutation spells. which should it be? dunno, maybe there will be "lesser" and "greater" wands. crystal balls will grant +10 to caster checks for scrying, while tarot cards will grant +10 to caster checks for augury.
