GitP Regulars as Spells

[Ninja_Prawn]

It's time to put on your robe and wizard hat, friend, for you have found the GitP Regulars as Spells thread!

If you want someone to turn you into a frog spell, please give permission in this thread. If you'd like to contribute a spell, please go ahead (but read the rules first)! The list of people who've already given permission can be found below...

Spoiler: Thread rules

Show

This thread is intended to host homebrewed spells inspired by the regular visitors to this forum.

Who is a 'Regular'?
There is no particular prerequisite for someone to count as a regular; if you feel you know someone well enough to 'brew a spell for them, and they've given permission, go right ahead!

You should not 'brew spells for yourself, no matter how regular you are.

What do you mean, 'inspired'?
The idea is that the spell reflects the forum-goer in some way. This could be based on something they've said or done, some aspect of their persona, or simply the content of their forum handle.

Okay, got it. Um, what's a 'spell', again?
Spells are the things D&D characters cast for fun and profit. You can find many examples at the back of your PHB. The spells in this thread are mostly light-hearted and unlikely to be used in an actual game, but it's still a good chance to stretch your homebrewing muscles, so try to make them as balanced as possible.

By the way, there's a formatting template at the bottom of this post if you want to use it.

What's this 'permission' deal I keep hearing about?
You must have permission from the person to whom your spell is dedicated before posting it. If you are happy for people to turn you into a spell, please post your permission in this thread!

You can find a list of people who've given permission, but still don't have a spell to their name, below. There is also an official list of 5e perma-permissions here; you may refer back to that if you wish.

[JNAProductions]

Moment of Inspiration my ass. I've been stuck on abilities for Noble for hours now.

[Ninja_Prawn]

JNAProductions' Moment of Inspiration
1^st-level enchantment

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You gain a sudden burst of creative energy that allows you to produce artworks at a furious pace. While under the influence of this spell, you can produce in 1 minute the same volume of work that would normally take you 8 hours.
This spell only applies to creative work, such as writing, composing, painting or designing.


LaZodiac’s Scathing Critique
1^st-level enchantment

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 90 feet
Components: V
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You ruthlessly critique the performance of one humanoid who can hear you within range (they do not need to be able to understand you). They must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 2d8 psychic damage and, if they performed an action during their previous turn, they are too embarrassed to use that action again for the duration of the spell. If they used the Cast a Spell action, they are only prevented from casting that specific spell; they can still cast others. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and may act as normal.


Shining Wrath’s Burning Radiance
3^rd-level evocation

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (15-foot radius)
Components: V, S, M (a handful of glitter)
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

You surround yourself with shimmering embers. They flit around you to a distance of 15 feet for the duration, flaring up into angry flames whenever a hostile creature comes near.
When you cast this spell, you can designate any number of creatures you can see to be unaffected by it. An affected creature is blinded as long as it remains in the area, and when the creature enters the area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 3d8 fire damage. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4^th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 3^rd.


Shining Wrath’s Illumination
1^st-level divination

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous

You instantly learn the correct answer to one factual question, puzzle or riddle, if such an answer exists.
This spell cannot be used to gain information that is hidden or kept secret, though if such knowledge is required to answer the question the spell makes you aware of that requirement.


TurboGhast’s Augment Undead
3^rd-level necromancy

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S, M (a black onyx stone worth at least 100gp)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You bolster friendly undead creatures with dark magic. Choose any number of non-hostile undead that you can see within range, whose combined CR is less than or equal to 1. For the duration of the spell, they have advantage on all saving throws, their movement speed is doubled and they regenerate 1d4+1 hit points at the start of their turns.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4^th level or higher, you can target an additional 1 CR-worth of undead for each slot level above 3^rd. For example, if you cast this spell at 5^th level, you could target one CR3 wight, or three CR1 ghouls.

How would you describe your personality/style? I can't really extrapolate a spell from your screen name...

[Douche]

I want my spell to be Douche's aura of Douchiness. It causes your collar to instantly pop and become unable to be lowered for an 8 hour duration. Also people dislike you for no reason. I guess you could cast it on other people too.

Douche's Popped Collar of Antagonism? Douche's Aura of Antipathy? Yeah, I can work with that.

[Ninja_Prawn]

Douche's Aura of Antipathy
3^rd-level enchantment

Casting Time 1 action
Range Self (30-foot radius)
Components V, S, M (a polo shirt worth at least 10gp)
Duration Concentration, up to 1 minute

You pop the collar on your shirt and hurl insults at everyone around you. All creatures, including your friends and allies, feel an intense urge to avoid you for the duration of the spell. Any creature that moves within 30 feet of you or starts its turn within that radius must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature must spend all of its remaining movement moving as far away from you as possible, though it will avoid difficult or hazardous terrain as it does so. If a creature that failed its save ends its turn within 30 feet of you, it is so disconcerted by your presence that all attack rolls against it have advantage until it is no longer within 30 feet of you.



EvilAnagram's Puzzle of Pain
3^rd-level abjuration

Casting Time 1 action.
Range Touch
Components V, S, M (a tome worth at least 25gp)
Duration Until dispelled

You touch a closed door, window, gate, chest, or other entryway, and it becomes locked for the duration as per the Arcane Lock spell. You must also set a password that, when spoken within 5 feet of the object, suppresses this spell for 1 minute. This spell then causes a cryptic puzzle, anagram or riddle to appear on the locked object, which can be solved to reveal the password if a creature succeeds on an Intelligence check against your spellcasting DC. You can choose which language or code this puzzle is presented in; a creature attempting to solve it must be able to read and understand that language or code. Whenever a creature fails this check or provides an incorrect password, it takes 4d6 psychic damage.



EvilAnagram's Sinister Misspelling
6^th-level evocation

Casting Time 1 reaction, when you see a creature within 90 feet of you casting a spell.
Range 90 feet
Components V
Duration Instantaneous

You attempt to interrupt a creature in the process of casting a spell. If the creature is casting a spell of 6^th level or lower, you can add, remove or change up to two letters from the spell's name in order to change its effect. For example, you could change a Fly spell into a Fry spell, which might deal fire damage to the target, or a Flee spell that causes them to become frightened. The new effect is determined by the DM; it should be roughly equivalent in power to the slot level used to cast the original spell, and uses the original caster's spellcasting ability to determine any attack bonus or save DC that might be appropriate. If the original caster is casting a spell of 7^th level or a higher, make an ability check using your spellcasting ability. The DC equals 10 + the spell's level. On a success you may modify the spell as if it were 6^th level or lower.

At higher levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7^th level or higher, the interrupted spell can be changed without requiring a check as long as its level is less than or equal to the level of the spell slot you used.


Anyone else want to be a spell? Or brew one for me?

That actually made me laugh quite hard, while at work Good thing no one noticed

Now I'm imagining it would be great as a tanking type spell, if instead of being a de facto fear effect, it'd be a Jersey Shore-esque "Come at me bro" and cause creatures to be forced into fighting you rather than your team mates.

Btw, I've never popped my collar or been to the Jersey Shore, so please don't think of me as that character IRL

[Ninja_Prawn]

I have a feeling this would be a popular spell among civilian mages and high elves...

Socratov's Legendary Libation
Conjuration cantrip

Casting Time 1 bonus action
Range Self
Components V, M (a container for liquids, such as a mug, tankard or flask, which is filled by the spell)
Duration Instantaneous

You speak a word of power and your container fills with a drink of your choosing, which can be imbibed as an action. The drink is delicious and satisfies the drinker's thirst for the next 24 hours. Furthermore, the drinker has advantage on saving throws against becoming frightened for one hour after consuming this libation. If the drink is not consumed within one hour of being conjured, it loses its magic and turns into mundane, flavourless water.

[EvilAnagram]

I would like to publicly laud EvilAnagram’s Sinister Misspelling as entirely hilarious.

Ralanr's Raging Rampage
6th level Conjuration

Casting Time: 10 minutes OR 1 action
Range: 10ft
Components: V,S,M (Barrel of Grog worth no more than 3 gold)
Duration: Instantaneous

When cast, this spell summons a mighty half orcish barbarian (10th level) who immediately attacks any enemy you choose. Once he has made that attack, however, he becomes an NPC with his own agenda and may fight for you, against you, or simply walk away. He is initially predisposed toward you if you cast the spell as an action, but if you spend 10 minutes sharing the barrel of grog material component he remains a steadfast friend until you bogart the last turkey leg.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, Ralanr's Raging Rampage summons two additional barbarians. However the material component cost increases by an additional barrel of grog per level, and the maximum value of each barrel is reduced by 5 silver.

Oh, thank you! this is a good shiny! (and an excellent counterpart to Goodberry, between them you have a fine meal). Does it come in Druid?

Hmm. What do druids drink? I'm imagining crystal-clear springwater and chamomile tea. Well, there's no reason you can't use the spell to get those, and the word 'libation' gives it a divine feel anyway. Yeah, I'd let druids use it as-is.

[Shining Wrath]

Ninja Prawn's Sudden Flip
5th level Abjuration
Casting Time: Special
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous

When a creature of size Large or smaller hits you with a melee attack, you may use your reaction to cast this spell. As a consequence, you take no damage from the attack, and the attacker loses the rest of their turn and is left prone on the other side of you.

EDIT: Add this to the Wizard, Warlock, Sorcerer, and Bard lists.

That's why it's 5th level - loss of turn is a big deal.

Steampunkette's Espresso
2nd level transformation (ritual)
Casting Time: action
Components: S, M (a cup of coffee, which is consumed)
Duration: 10 minutes

This spell is cast upon a cup of coffee. The creature which consumes the coffee gains advantage on one Intelligence based ability (Arcana, History, Investigation, Nature, or Religion) for the duration.

[Steampunkette]

Niiiiiice!

[Peelee]

I'm up for it!

Looking at it, more I feel it would work better as a cantrip. Sure it lasts a long while, but it's hard to brew coffee before every fight a knowledge check might be useful for.

I agree. And the school is called transmutation.

I'll put it under level 2 for now, but I don't think it belongs there as-written.

man, this is just the gift that keeps on giving... I'm pretty sure it's all kinds of broken.

That's why I put the clause "the new effect is determined by the DM; it should be roughly equivalent in power to the slot level used to cast the original spell" in there. It's no more broken than Wish is

Aistarkhios' Arcing Spark
4^th-level evocation

You create a flash of lightning that arcs toward a target of your choice that you can see within range. Two bolts then leap from that target to as many as two other targets, each of which must be within 20 feet of the first target. A target can be a creature or an object and can be targeted by only one of the bolts.
A target must make a Dexterity saving throw. taking 4d10 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
