[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 7896679, member: 6796661"] We generally run games using RAW, but I'm not a stickler and try to find ways to say yes. Creating spells from whole cloth, creating new feats, new subclasses, etc. I'm more careful with as those could affect balance more. But in situations like you mentioned I'd generally support a player trying to find creative uses of spells. I make it clear to players that I reserve the right to not allow something in the future that I may have allowed on the fly if I find it create problems, but 5e is pretty darn resilient. It is very rare that saying "yes" has created an issues in a game. In your case, I'm don't see it creating a balance issue, but if I did, there are still option to allow it with some restrictions, one option is to let them use Magic Weapon on a natural attack, like a dog's bite with a point of inspiration, or just let the character do it but then say going forward it is a separate spell that they would have to prepare.
