AD&D, and there was a spell called 'Create Water'.  Which said that you had to have a container in which to allow the spell to be effective...I'm sure you all know it well.    Well, the thief of the party had a wand that would create instant pits.  He also carried around a wand of fireballs.    One time, we're fighting a bunch of particularly nasty monsters, and we start running low on spells.  The thief whips out his wand...points at one of the creatures and...the GM informs him that he pulled out the wrong wand.  He doesn't fireball his intended victims, but digs a pit to which they fall into.   As a round goes by, for the stunned creature to get it's bearings again, I look at my character sheet and list of the few spells I have remaining...  Me:  "I run up to the pit and cast 'create water' and then yell at the wizard, 'Freeze it! Freeze it!!!'"   ---  Another great situation... a friend was in a D&D Ravenloft adventure that I was fortunate to sit in and watch occationally.    DM:  Okay...the tavern is in shambles.  You have just defeated the dire wolves that have attacked you.  The party is in bad shape, the furniture is smashed.  What few remaining tables there are, you've piled near each other in a makeshift barrier.  The big window in the front of the tavern is smashed.  You can see in the dim light of twilight however, a cloud of blackness heading towards you.  As it gets bigger, you can hear squeaking and realize that it's a swarm of vampire bats...what do you do?  Cleric:  I cast silence, out in the courtyard in front of the tavern.  DM:  Silence?  Okay, you can't hear that bats coming anymore, but you can see them.  Cleric:  However they can't see where they are going...no echo radar.   DM: (Stunned look) Duh!?  ---  We also had a number of 'swallow-whole' adventures.    The half-elf that was swallowed by a giant dire toad.  Who proceeded to cast burning hands while inside the creature.  -- The rest of the party was able to tell which toad had swallowed the half-elf... it was the one with the smoke billowing out of it.  Or the time that the wizard's familiar was swallowed by some giant worm (not purple though), and the familiar then proceeded to cast Enlarge Self.</blockquote>
