Living Forbidden Speech: Can't speak about that... or that... or that...
Living Touch of Juibilex: Everything is like me [the ooze]!
Living Consume Likeness: Kills you, then is you, repeat.
Living Polymorph/Lahm's Finger Darts: It fires fingers at you, over, and over, and over..
Living Addiction: What are you addicted to today?
Living Black Bag: Torture bags everywhere!
Living Cheat: An ooze that never loses
Living Nether Trail: And endless line of evil outsiders follows this ooze.
Living Tongue Serpents: Hordes of vipers!
Living Phantasmal Thief: This ooze wants it all.
Living Vortex of Teeth....it eats you.
Living Cometfall....every time it hits you, a comet hits you on the head. That'd get annoying fast.

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.
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 Polymorph Any Object: *Whack* You're a monkey! *Whack* You're a shrew! *Whack* You're a naked mole rat!

Living Wall of Iron: Either the most unfortunate "ooze" ever or the toughest blob on the block. Make sure your druid has plenty of rusting grasp spells prepped.
Thank you, thank you very much. I'm honored *Bows*
*Gets whacked by the Living Polymorph Any Object* *turns into a hamster*

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.

I'm using this. Thank you.

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.

Living wish: Whatever you were (un)fortunate enough to be thinking about becomes reality ("Another living spell? man, I almost wish I were fighting a tarrasque or something, just for the change of pac--ooooohhh sh--"...)
*BOOM*
"What did you think of?"
*BOOM*
"...the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man..."
*BOOM*
"God help us..."

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

DM of the Arena: " Gareth goes to swing his Great Axe over his head. Gareth ( roll, roll) trips over his big toe and spins in mid air, landing flat on his back. The Great Axe returns and lands blade first in the center of his chest, causing 21 damage."

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.
"On the other hand, maybe all of this could have been prevented if you had just managed to get laid once in a while. You can't tell me you would have been as tightly wound if you had been getting treasure type O once in a while"
