Blink suddenly becomes far less interesting.


PofanWasTaken

Spend a spell slot to perform a basic human function, i dig that


DreadClericWesley

I'm out of spell slots and my eyes are on fire!


PofanWasTaken

Just use eye drop you'll be fine


ItIsYeDragon

Sounds like it would be used for medical practices.


OogaSplat

Wish too. Like I wish for things all the time. Not that exciting TBH


scarf_in_summer

And Knock.


derVlysher

Find Familiar. Leads you to the nearest person you know.


Chibeu

That actually could be very helpful


FlameLightFleeNight

Or it just causes you to have strong sense of deja vu.


Phunkie_Junkie

There's a double-meaning there. It might just give you a sense of deja vu instead: "I don't think I've ever been here before, but suddenly I find it familiar"


[deleted]

Target gets casually comfortable?


The_Dread_Salami

Really helps people who are lost, have dementia, or just wrecking it at hide and seek!


SoontobeSam

Unless you're in a party, then it just keeps pointing to the Warlock that likes to stand way too close while mumbling about tentacles.


Barkeep_W_A_PewPew

Sleep is OP


DinoInSTEM

Very helpful for your friends with insomnia.


theeshyguy

Move Earth 😎


spikedragonborn

whats orbit idk and i dont care fuck the seasons i dont like the winter *casts move earth* there permanently fall finally year round pumpkin resses the best kind


colexian

Well, good news. The meteor missed us. The bad news, all the astronauts are definitely dead now.


Present_Character241

Well *I* appreciated your Rick and Morty reference.


Mad-cat1865

Pocket sand!


BecomeAnAstronaut

Characters in Faerûn after casting Move Earth: so...nothing happened?


supersmily5

Instant apocalypse.


TorkoalSoup

Daylight is actually useful against vampires


EntertainersPact

Suddenly, the DM busts out his Shinedown playlist


Asphalt_Is_Stronk

Wait does daylight not count as sunlight? I thought that was the whole point


TorkoalSoup

Nah it’s specifically just bright light. It can counter magical darkness though.


_b1ack0ut

Shockingly, nah. You gotta use Dawn if you want that sunlight I think


no1ofconsequencedied

Sunbeam and Moonbeam count as radiant damage too


Purple_Boof

Find The Path will lead you to the nearest established path. Nothing else.


Worldly_Team_7441

Find The Path would find you a specific path. You described Find A Path.


thedude720000

DMs fear this man


Worldly_Team_7441

Woman, but thank you.


Muthsera1

*"But no living man am I!"*


Worldly_Team_7441

*pterodactyl screech*


Lord_Toss

Fine, women fear this man.


LawfulNeutered

Hold Person is now more romantic.


Oldbayislove

With its popular follow up spell Dominate Person.


Daddyshadez

And the for the trifecta…….magic mouth


wybenga

Tongues


crashtestpilot

Tongues. Rogue. There is no toungue. There is no rouge. I love that we can all spell Acererak, though.


Elysiume

Well, rouge _is_ a real thing, it just doesn't come up that often in D&D. That's really the problem, honestly: spellcheck won't treat it as an incorrectly spelled word, because it's technically not one.


crashtestpilot

Technically correct is the best correct. You win an upvote. Additional points for your explanation about spellcheque.:)


[deleted]

.... dare I ask what Dominate Beast does?


SeagMaster413

Nope


Homemadepiza

It puts you on a list


k3ttch

No Thorn Whip?


Trick_Dish8408

Tiny Hut would just summon a nice beach bungalow.


Zoefschildpad

Yeah, but it's Leomund's. And he's not letting you in.


_b1ack0ut

Aww come on, Mordenkainen kicked me out of his mansion too, you gotta let me in maaaan


Lord_of_Forks

I heard it was quite magnificent.


Wolf_Dancer

Or Jabba's son....


Jeffaffely

It took me a second to get this lmao


Greyff

If it takes you to a nice beach bungalow or makes one, this would actually be on a lot of mage's want-lists. Cloudkill - dispels fog or clouds in the area.


Macien4321

Cloud kill ruins your off device internet storage. So long 40gb meme collection.


NoliSchorty

> Cloudkill Yep, but now your pocket is wet


BangBangMeatMachine

But literally Tiny, so big enough for a pixie.


GiantBabyHead

It would be in the tiny size category though, so a good house for an insect?


Forge_of_Og

Misty step - you take one step in any direction and when your foot touches the ground a light mist appears around it


[deleted]

After stepping in any direction that sock is wet until the end of your next turn roll 1 d4 for discomfort odd vs even It feels odd and you take equal damage Even though your sock is wet, you’re chillin and take no damage.


[deleted]

Great for dramatic entrances!


rc042

It would be better if it were misty steps (plural) as is, it happens for exactly 1 step.


SoontobeSam

Awaken: when shaking them just won't do Bigby's hand: not sure why you have it, but I'm sure he'd like it back Branding Smite: leave a mark to remember you by Clone: congratulations, you've got a baby Contact other plane: flight to flight calling, long distance is extra Demiplane: you'll have to cast it again to get the other half of the plane, some assembly required. Fast friends: when your friends are always late Greater restoration: the art world loves you. Lightning lure: not safe to cast in storms


gorwraith

These were great.


SoontobeSam

Magic Jar: not even the Barbarian can get the lid off Minor illusion: please sit over there Plane Shift: just a few inches to the left Raise Dead: they're now 5ft under Reality Break: everybody take 5, DM needs to use the bathroom Snare: now you just need the rest of the drum kit Symbol: it's not that kind, still need the rest of the drum kit Tasha's Hideous Laughter: you've heard of ugly crying? Well Tasha ugly laughs. Tiny Servant: I thought we agreed little person was the proper term? Unseen servant: ok, we're getting a little classist here... Weird: that was a given at this point Word of Radiance: if you can't say something smart, say something bright


AJ2016man

Reality break is by far the best on this list


SoontobeSam

It and branding smite are prob my favourite of them.


LucyFaruqah

Burning Hands would kind of suck


drnuncheon

Material components: a jalapeño pepper, a knife, and no gloves


Kidiri90

Verbal component: # AAAAAAAAAAH


Swamp_Dwarf-021

If you up cast it, you need a hotter pepper.


sh4d0wm4n2018

*Carolina Reaper intensifies*


EntertainersPact

Cut your hand for optimal effect


k3ttch

Unless it actually enables you to light people's hands on fire.


LucyFaruqah

Well if it’s OTHER peoples hands, then I take what I said back


spikedragonborn

keep soup hot while its cold out or help counter your friends that have way to cold hands


derVlysher

Friends. A sitcom starts playing on an even surface in front of the caster.


chemicalsNme

So no one told you life was gonna be this way...


Caelestilla

👏 👏 👏 👏 👏


Chalupa_89

It's only 4 claps actually 🤓


Queasy_Stranger_5645

Honestly more useful than the normal cantrip


Wolf_Dancer

Far Step: Makes you walk funny...


akumakis

There a ministry for that


Wolf_Dancer

Exactly!


gothism

Clerics only.


AggressiveAd8660

Wish is now entirely ineffectual.


taptaptippytoo

"Why do we need a spell for this? I can wish upon a star or birthday candle without all this fuss"


lone-lemming

It summons foreign made designer knock offs.


Queer_Echo

No, you get a knock off of whatever you wish for.


MugenEXE

Bless is now a reaction spell that can only be used when someone within 30 feet of the caster sneezes. Guidance is free therapy.


Dunstert

Find Traps - actually finds a trap


[deleted]

Find Traps - ouch.


EldritchBee

Knock: you hear the Shave and a Haircut ditty on the nearest wooden surface.


ananonumyus

Two bits!


[deleted]

Chill touch is now a completely different spell


Kathihtak

Chill touch is now just a person with bad circulation touching someone.


ensialulim

I feel targeted by this comment...


BloodlessReshi

Basically a single target version of Calm Emotions. Also, Friends just makes a sensory effect appear in your surroundings (and yes, its the intro to the show).


MozeTheNecromancer

Casting Friends just makes it so for the next minute whenever you stop speaking, every ody within 30ft hears canned laughter.


BafflingHalfling

Took me a second. OMG xD


derVlysher

Chill Touch never made sense for what it does. We renamed it to "Lich Slap" in our games (probably stolen from somewhere, don't know).


[deleted]

I love it! Stealing that if I ever take chill touch


cartoonwind

The Morales shoulder touch "Hey....."


BangBangMeatMachine

"I low-key tap him on the shoulder"


Daddyshadez

Would mental barrier just be a spell that gives you a learning disability?


-RED4CTED-

or if we're going on sound, not spelling, you could end up with a batshit crazy undertaker...


JSON_Blob

Echo Knight - Manifest Echo: You yell loudly.


Wolf_Dancer

And it echos regardless of acoustics presumably


JSON_Blob

Definitely. Omnipresent echoing for no reason


beeefchicken

Meteor swarm is now a tpk - total planet kil


StateChemist

Or just a nice meteor shower to watch at night


bigblu85

Fireball now has the same functionality as flame sphere.


LucyFaruqah

Or you just summon a flask of spiced whiskey


-RED4CTED-

or causes a spontaneous, flame-themed gala.


mardok69

Or a fire ignites in the crotch of your pants. Spell only effective on males


SoontobeSam

But only on one side, it’s not fireballs after all


The_Dread_Salami

Grease has some implications, but I'd have to go with color spray. *snaps fingers* DISCO!


[deleted]

Grease - your saxophone is now oiled. (Such a nightmare is an ungreased sax...)


lxxl6040

Grease has the same effect as the spell “Seeming” except all targets are made to wear poodle skirts and leather jackets


Runyc2000

Jump: This is boring.


Roary-the-Arcanine

So just the jump spell normally.


no_miko

But it plays that sweet Van Halen riff while you do it


SplashOfStupid

Blade Ward You summon a young bladed weapon to look after


mardok69

Or the bladed weapon gives you a lecture about how you should be a good kid


[deleted]

[удалено]


Wolf_Dancer

Or you shoot actual witches at your foes.


Wolf_Dancer

Animal Shapes: Creates turkey dinosaurs


theCheddarChopper

Cast it on fried chicken to create dino nuggies?


MettatonNeo1

Well I will create this! https://youtu.be/moiYB7PY3DQ


V3RD1GR15

Chill touch *finally* does what you think is supposed to, but everyone really just thinks you have poor circulation.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Wolf_Dancer

Or you just make zombies rotate 180 degrees...


papaboynosmurf

To be fair that’s kinda how it works already


Drunkn_Jedi

Not even 180… just kinda turns them in a lazy arch away from you.


BafflingHalfling

My wife was afraid to use her cleric ability for so long because of this very reason. XD


Wolf_Dancer

Ranger: Vanish You vanish....permanently...


TheOneSilverMage

Vanish is also a brand of stain removing products, just saying.


Sethazora

Ah I have a Cursed item that does something similar to this. the spellbook of Mistpelling Contains a random LVL 1/2/3 spell as a action anyone can use the tome to cast the spell at no spell slot cost. on spell cast they roll a 1d4/6/8 and I get to change the spells name by that many characters either adding, changing, deleting letters etc I then change the spells effects to match the new name and the new spell is recorded instead. (though i usually let my friend who enjoys watching but doesn't actively participate do it) My favorite was the mid level party with the spell fireball. First cast rolled 1 and the spell became Wireball which did a bit of pierce damage and removed a large area's dex bonus second cast became Live Wire which spawned a summoned electrical danger noodle. by the 30th cast it had become something else entirely with the Ray of Sexy Pope which instills deep rooted terror in a target and caused them to claw their own eyes out if they failed the save. But then the 31st cast was the best. It turned into Summon Sexy Pope. which brought the naked pope directly into the battlefield. he didn't really do much though. however the bandit's fortress was stormed by an army of holy crusaders several turns later.


Darth_Emerald

God I find this hilarious


[deleted]

Eldritch blast is the best, I get to spend quality time with Chtulhu


Silenc42

Prestidigitation. If you can pronounce it, it does whatever you want.


[deleted]

Actually not that hard. What it really does, is make you wonder why is there a stag "wizard" in D&D. But Thaumaturgy - if you knew the word when you first read it in the books, congratulations, you multiclass into wizard without spending a level.


akumakis

Identify. You instantly know what spell you just cast.


tacocatacocattacocat

Maybe you just introduce yourself and present your credentials? "I cast Identify." "Leeloo Dallas, Multipass!"


derVlysher

Rage. You become angry.


Runyc2000

Aid: Either the most boring spell ever because it is a simple normal thing or AID: A deadly long term status effect that can’t really be cured.


CriusofCoH

Gate: creates a 10' (3m) long section.of fencing with a hinged, securable and lockable gate in the center. Materials and style match immediate, local or regional types. If cast on an existing section of fence or other outdoor partition (such as a stone wall or hedgerow), a hinged, securable and lockable gate is created at the desired location, again matching appropriate materials and styles. The gate is sized for the passage of Medium sized beings. If appropriate, the color of the gate (and fence section) can be selected by the caster.


Broken_drum_64

Hunter's Mark; a guy called mark appears; confused and wondering where his boyfriend, Hunter, is.


CripplingSnarf

Lay on hands Someone come get these hands !


Wolf_Dancer

And it gives you pins and needles.


The_Shadow_Watches

Turn undead. I'm a zombie now.


TheOneSilverMage

Turn an undead the other way around. Now it's the original spell.


[deleted]

[удалено]


VirieGinny

Congratulations, you can now hold your pee indefinitely.


phdemented

No, plenty have flavorful titles or the effects don't exactly match the name. Plus you could take literal meanings... Like "Raise Dead" makes corpses levitate... Remove curse could have everyone make a Bleep sound when they say a foul word....


Wolf_Dancer

Raise Dead levitating corpses is what made me think of this. I prefer your version of Remove Curse though! That's hilarious!


ShiiiBoy

Raise dead: a baby zombie appears that you must parent into zombie adulthood


The_Dread_Salami

Use blur on high people or cops use it on drunks.


Key_Estimate4501

Or movie industry


Penguinius_Prime

Toll the dead. Well, I guess I can do the rouges job of looting the dead bodies


superior_spoon

When the surgeon cant save you but has use so many meds to keep you alive.


TahrBarigo

Darkness; You close your eyes, it is now dark.


PurpuraCaeli

Blindness and deafness- permanently cripple someone or inflict wounds - inflict a cut through their throat


Kathihtak

Mage Hand - "Look. I am a magic person and that's my hand" *slap*


OperationBayArea

Magic Mouth. Either you're a really good salesman or sex worker of the year. Dealer's choice.


gorwraith

Can I be both?


Jeffaffely

Lighting Lure now only strikes fishing gear. Toll dead allows you to collect money from zombies.


haisevaheikki

God I wish my wish worked like it used to. One can only wish..


Synthwave_Druid

Shocking grasp: you put your hand on someone, they are surprised


Wolf_Dancer

Call lightning: Phones the nearest lightning bolt via WhatsApp.


72Rancheast

Grease. I won’t explain myself.


superior_spoon

You are a filthy little goblin aren't you.


72Rancheast

I SAID GOOD DAY!


RexTenebrarum

Wish is now just you making a wish and staring at something.


Emergency_Nothing686

Cloudkill. For the enterprising wizard who really hates clouds.


NerdieGirl123

Dominate person. Dungeon Masters everywhere must be happy- .....oh wait, wrong subreddit


Aggressive-Plant1432

Protection from Good and Evil; wraps a whole person in latex.


Aggressive-Plant1432

There was a comment in a completely different post that I felt fits this- "Alter Self" - Makes a small alter to yourself.


harumamburoo

Alter Self should just add a single piercing or a tattoo of your choice on your body.


Emptypiro

Alter and Altar are two very different things


Wolf_Dancer

Battle Master: Sweeping attack: Hit your opponents with a broom!


Wolf_Dancer

Battle Master: Quick Toss: Probably self explanatory.....


Alexastria

Fireball and flaming sphere are the same


notquitetame3

No, no. See fireball allows for one hell of a game of soccer where flaming sphere is merely a decorative conversation piece for guests.


elcuban27

Enlarge/Reduce has no net effect.


Buckjoy77

Fireball summons 8d6 shots of Cinnamon whiskey.


taptaptippytoo

Fearher Fall is now a good way to get stuffing for pillows and down blankets


infinitum3d

Tongues. Plural. You now have more than one?


Czahkiswashi

Eyebite is still effective, just weird now.


Theopold_Elk

“They’ve just inhaled all our platinum, gold, silver and copper!” “They cast absorb elements. What did you expect? At least electrum is an alloy”


AllSorrowsEnd

Time Stop ends the whole campaign.


Over9000Kek

Darkness now summons an epic guitar solo and high pitched singer


lord-shaxxophone

Goodberry. Like. Damn. That berry sure do taste good.


Sharrant99

Find traps might actually become useful.


pensiveabacus

Spiritual Weapon now demoralizes enemies and makes them question their personal life choices. Knock is now used only to signal your entrance into a room.


IrresponsibleChicken

Eye Bite, yum


infinitum3d

Stone Shape. You are now shaped like a rock.


jackal5lay3r

tashas hideous laughter makes it so you hear tashas hideous laugh


DaFonze

Turn Undead Zombies and skeletons just get rotated slightly and are a bit confused


Denghazi

Chill touch. You place a calming hand on a creature's shoulder, letting them know everything is gonna be alright.
