[QUOTE="Philotomy Jurament, post: 4432466, member: 20854"] My 12-year-old is playing a magic user in one of my OD&D (white box) games. He submitted write-ups for some spells his Theurgist (4th lvl magic user) is thinking about researching. Some of these are obviously going to be too powerful for him to research (he knows that, though). Anyway, here they are, as submitted to me. Any suggestions for appropriate levels and/or modifications? RAIDEN'S INSTANT FUNGI FOREST The user creates an instant forest of fungi that go up to the average man's knees making creatures that move through have half their regular move. RAIDEN'S DEADLY INSTANT FUNGI FOREST The same as the Instant Fungi Forest, but moving through the fungi causes clouds of magical spores. Roll for effect: 1 = poison 2 = sleep 3 = laughing gas 4 = paralyzes 5 = dizziness 6 = berserk DEEP FOREST CREATION Creates a tangle of branches thick as tree trunks come bursting out of the walls and floor in a tangle so huge people caught in it can't move at all. The forest can be burned, for the record. SHADOW REAPER Range 15 ft. from caster 2d4 creatures in range are dragged into another dimension by shadow worm-like tentacles that burst out of the ground STRIKING SNAKES range 8 ft. from caster Creates two snakes out of the caster's hand that protect the 8 ft. wide radius of a circle. If an other creature comes in the circle 1 of the snakes attack having a venomous bite the creature continues to take 1d4 damage unless a saving throw is made. RAIDEN'S MAGICAL INSTANT GLUTTONY Duration: see below Range: touch The user makes the target instantly so fat they fall over. It is impossible to move by oneself. This change is permanent unless a dispel magic spell is cast. PIPES OF MADNESS Caster makes anyone who enters the room hear beautiful music and have a happy feeling and must make a Wisdom check every round or lose of point of Int and Wis. If either one is reduced to zero the victim goes mad. THE CHARM OF FLESH CRAVING The caster makes the target have a sudden intense craving for food. If the saving throw is made, the target wants normal food, and will immediately go to find some. If the saving throw is failed, the target has a craving for the flesh of its own kind, and will immediately attack and mutilate the nearest creature of the same race. (More to come, including the CHAOS ARROW, BODY FUNGUS, and MOMMY'S BOY...) [/QUOTE]
