Planar Binding: Any native outsider who fails a save versus spells is stricken with constipation.

Banishment:The targeted outsider is sent to a remote island without internet access.

Mestil's Acid Breath: New and improved Garlic flavor! Terrorize Vampires and annoy your friends!

Stinking Cloud: Makes the rain smell funny.

Burning Hands: Duration lasts as long as you hold the hot kettle. Those observing must make a fortitude check or start to laugh at you.

Produce Flame: Not for the faint of fart.

Speak like Dead: ARRrrrrgggg, Braaaainsssss. Also comes in Pirate Variant: Arrrrrrr, Rummmmmmm.

Deaf Armor: Protects against all sound based attacks and commands of significant others.

Elemental Shield: The Periodic Table of Elements grants +5 to AC versus students.

Charm non-person: Your chair will like you more, for a time, until it realizes you just abused it to sit down. Then you'll get splinters in retaliation. Has some limited effect also on In-laws and hut to hut salespeople.

Expedious Repeat: Grants the Ability to Say Jinx faster than your childhood chum.

Grease: Canola and Sesame oil variants. Great for Stir Fried Pixies.

Makechange: Converts any easily portable currency into an annoying and plentiful, but equally valuable, array of lesser coinage. If cast on copper those around you are stricken with hideous laughter.

Firefall: This spell has been outlawed and upgraded to feathers. Variant spell allows caster to shoot balls of fiery feathers.

  • Bigby's Extended Middle Digit - +10 to Taunt
  • Detect Dead - "Yup.  He's dead."
  • Magic Missive - Letters appear from the aether and fling themselves at the target.
  • Blindness-Deafness (self) - Strikes caster blind and deaf.  Useful at would-be bard open-stage night at the pub.
  • Tasha's Hideous Daughter - DC 30 Bluff check or you have to take her to the Prom.
  • Detect Detect Magic - Determines if the Detect Magic spell has been cast.
  • Invisibility (Clothes) - Renders the target's clothes invisible.  Range: Self.
  • Bull's Grace - Grants the grace of the bull to the target.
  • Magic Circle Against Alignment (Personal):  Creates a magic circle, centred on the caster, that hedges out individuals of the caster's alignment.
  • Hold Hand - First base.
  • Fryerball - Rains chicken soup on the target.  Material Component: one chicken.
  • Evard's Spiked Tentacles of Forced Intrusion - Wait, what?
  • Charm Monster - Still in the spellbook, but the original version was a smidge too strong, and embarrassed mages petitioned for a change.
  • Mice Storm - Squeaky, but not terribly dangerous.
  • Polymorph Elf - Deemed too limited a spell.
  • Hold Muenster - Leaves you with a handful of cheese.  Not to be sneered at, but Create Food and Water works just as well.

iWin: Summons a massive red button.
Magic Miss-all: Caster becomes completely oblivious to everything.
Bigby's Inlaw's Hand of Forceful Intrustion: Very effective against any locked door or portal of a non blood relative. Not to be mistaken for Bigby's Soliciter Swatter.

There seems to be some sort of evacuation trend in some of these spells. In the words of the Professor: "a bowl movement so strong he won't have any bones left!"

A new discipline of magic perhaps? Certainly brings new meaning to the term "mud mage" to me :)

Haste Citrus Fruit - The only safe speed-alteration spell for citrus fruits.  Otherwise, a lime is a terrible thing to haste.

Solve A Long Argument Very Quickly - Got coupled in with 'Hellball'.  Now an epic level spell.

Tasha's Hideous Daughter - Summons 1d6 blind dates.

Undeath to Life - Sort of the opposite to 'undeath to death', but the former undead, instead of falling to the ground in pieces, instead rush off to go and get a retirement plan.

Maxwell's Silver Hammer - Summons both a weapon useful against undead and shapechangers, and the cheeriest song ever written about a serial killer.

Bestow Xurse - Not actually a spell, so much as a typographical error in the manual.  You wave your hands about, and say 'Upon you a xurse will last forever, even to the seventh generation!'.  Then, while they're trying to figure out what that means, you run away.

Can-Trip - And will!
