spell casting for real - which one?

[The Blue Wizard]

This may appeal to the more magically inclined among us: If you--yes you yourself, not your PC-- were able to cast any of the spells in the PHB for REAL, which one would it be?

 

[Balgus]

polymorph self-
MM
fireball
lightning bolt
Command

in that order...

 

[Tom Cashel]

Wish, of course.

Prestidigitation. A lot of applications that'd make life a hell of a lot easier, and I'm less likely to get in trouble fireballing someone when my tempers shot.

It would have to be:

Teleport (without error)
Fly
Invisibility
Stoneskin (well - you never know)
Charm person...

 

[The Blue Wizard]

Stoneskin! LOL

I sure wasn't expecting to see that one!!! I would imagine few Druid spells would make it on the list... but you never know.

For me:

True Resurrection (think of the possibilities!!!)

Greater Scrying (Osama would have been toasted by now)

LIghtning Bolt (always wanted this since seeing ROTJ as a kid!)

 

[Utrecht]

Anything that can used to bring the thief Greenleaf back to life

 

[Tewligan]

Wish, of course.

Not me. I'm saving up my XP to make some magic items.

 

[Tiberius]

The whole bleedin' book!

If I had to choose, though, any from this list would suit me fine:

Teleport Without Error
Destruction
Disintegrate
Dominate Person
Astral Projection
Greater Planar Binding
Fly
Improved Invisibility
The Power Word suite
Gate
Discern Location
Create Object
Atonement

[BiggusGeekus@Work]

Teleport without error
Heal
Bull's Strength
Mage Armor
Shapechange

I'll pass on rezing and combat spells. I don't want the power of life over death and If I can't get out of a situation by turning into a dragon then I have other problems.
