Living Vortex of Teeth....it eats you.

Living Aspect of the Wolf: It's an ooze. Shaped like a wolf.

I have to say, though, the scariest one I've seen so far is a Living Avascular Mass/Finger of Death/Unnaming. *SLAM* Save or turn into a gooey mass of cardial tissue and lose half your HP. Then, save or die. If you make that, save or no longer exist.

Well, so long as we're doing blatantly illegal spells:

Living Mind Seed

Actually, given that psionics is too good for magical names, it'd probably be something like "Incarnate Mind Seed" or "True Manifestation of Mind Seed" or "Astral Mind Seed Crystal" or what have you, but still: A giant... thing which replaces your mind with its own? Come on, you know you want it...

Living Teleportation Circle-
Where did it go? Nobody knows.

Living Animate Objects-
When it hits you, your clothing comes to life and tries to kill you.

Living Simulacrum- I don't even know how that would work, but no matter what, it wouldn't be pretty.

Living Clone for fast easy extra body manufacture.

Living Insanity because it would look like something straight out of H.P. Lovecraft's drug-induced hallucinations. Coincidentally Living Weird looks like something out of Lovecraft's nightmares (possibly zombie cthulhu?). Heck combine the two and you have Mythos Incarnate. Make a will save or start gibbering incoherently about non-euclidian squid monsters who eat seven-foot chitinous cyclopean tripedal pinecones.

Living Otto's Irresistable Dance. It's annoying enough when a single mage hits you with it once. Every single round?!

While we're doing psionics...

Living Time Regression. The best part here is that the only person in a time regression who remembers that things have changed is the manifester. The ooze is too stupid to act on this knowledge. So, everything happens exactly as before... It slam attacks someone. Time regresses a round. It slam attacks them again. Repeat forever.

That would just be wrong. Instant end of a campaign. Funnier than " Rocks Fall, everyone dies" though.

Actually the party would win every fight. The Living Spell woudl never win.

Everytime it hits the round is redone. So 1 in 20 redone rounds the LS rolls a natural 1 and misses. Even if the party can only hit it on a natural 20 and only does 1 damage on a critical, they would still win. Every 8000 rounds the Living Spell on average would take 1 point of damage.

And the best part is the only rounds that the characters remember are ones when they rolled 2 natural 20's and their enemy rolled a natural 1.

Except the one hit, right? Then much better if the rest of the party is watching the battle at a distance.

So, for one person, they've been locked in a month-long battle with this slime constantly being hit, but not hurt for long. To the others - it never touched you, but you kept hiting it in the best possible location.
