I thought of another great prank to do.
Cast Sympathy on someone's underwear so that it attracts obese female ogres. Conversely, cast Sympathy on yourself to attract attractive members of a species. Wonderful!
Then there's most conjuration spells

I must say, the king of Prank spells is also the bread and butter of the Transmuter...
Polymorph Any Object.
Turn the ceiling above them into a pile of goo which drops on them, or the floor beneath them to mud.. or "HEY Bob, why are you wearing a tutu?" Heck, Polymorph said ogre lady into a buxom brunette, then set it to dispel partway through the.. er.. 'date'.
The possibilities of that spell are endless, which is the main reason it's my personal favourite.

The problem with Mords Mansion, and the only reason I haven't taken it yet (I make it a point for ALL my mages with 8th lvl or above spells) is that it has an Arcane Focus. I've been avoiding spells with Foci or Material Components b/c he said we had nothing that wasn't 'required' for our character concepts..
(BTW, Why does 8th lvl get all the cool spells? Mord's Mansion, Poly Any Object, Polar Ray, Mind Blank, Moment of Presience, Otto's Irresistable Dance..)
OH ALSO - Halford, you asked a question a couple pages back before my rant on power-gaming vs roleplaying and I got sidetracked and forgot to answer -
On INvisiblecastle, after you roll, the page should look kinda like this:
[sblock]Die roll for Example
Campaign: Masters of the Arcane
Rolled on: 2008-05-29 02:14:53.133628
1d20+238 → [10,238] = (248)

Well, being a Beguiler I can't use Polymorph spells, but I can use Shades to summon Nick's Magnificent Shadow Mansion.
As long as you believe it's real, it is!

But you know it isn't real...
Thanks for answering that question Jemal. I guess I need to reroll my hit points and post the link thing.
Incidently Magnificent Mansion is 7th not 8th and for very special boys and girls who take the Sublime Chord PRC Otto's Irresistable Dance is 6th - hurray for me! "Nothing else for you to do but dance!"
But its okay you guys can share Halford's pad if you like, he'll even through in a Heroe's Feast for breakfast - the literal breakfast of champions - he may be evil, but he knows how to shmooze. The best thing is he can't even poison you because the feast makes you immune!
In regard to foci if you look through earlier posts I believe we were cleared to use them so long as they were nomagical and on the understanding that they would be considered worthless for the purposes of sale, etc.
So how long are we looking at before he IC thread kicks off? Are we looking for a particular number of participants or some such?
