I would build that roll into the spell itself where possible - eg if it's an attack roll spell, you use the first attack roll d20 for the 1/20. If it's a save spell, you use the first save for the 1/20 chance. So you dont have to roll additional dice for many spells (similar to the Fighter abilities in 13th Age).I would be inclined to give the physical mutations a time limit - maybe very long limits, like 2d20 days - but some kind of limit to avoid demon elves and so on..?I was thinking about the forest gods magic the other day and how that should work with a dangerous magic table. I understand you arent trying to balance the 3 kinds of magic (arcane, divine, primal), but personally I would make all casters roll on the table for balance reasons. (I might have to slightly alter the primeval thule magic theme for that - a kind of "all" magic is mysterious/not well understood/Not for Man to Know/tainted by the Old Ones).</blockquote>
