So much win in this thread. Also note that there are now TWO Angela Lansbury connected references here.

I've got one player that likes to add a little poetry to his castings - playing online, it ends up in chat (thankfully) That fell by the wayside as it became too time involved.

For the Goblin bard (which I very much had a hand in making), every spell has an associated song. Invisibility is the James Bond Themesong, and Shatter uses a bit of Rolling Stones (shadoobie). The exception is Stinking Cloud, which has its own unique mechanism.

He has a magic sword with two activation phrases: "Moon Tiara Magic!" (for Guiding Bolt) and "It's Showtime!" (for Moonbeam). The sword's magic doesn't require these, the sword just makes him do it before it'll activate.

Intelligent weapons are fun.
