Note: Roll a d100 and a d2. If the d2 = 2, add 100 to the d100 roll.

This result gives an even distribution of effects rather


than a bell curve would by adding two d100 rolls together.

1 ...as you finish casting your spell, the universe fizzles out around you leaving your party standing in a huge room with grid
patterns on all the walls. A voice comes from nowhere, "Damn it, Blakes. You crashed the holodeck...AGAIN!" Then
everything returns to normal and you say, "WHAT WAS THAT?!"
2 1d4 illusions appear that look exactly like the caster and mimics its movements. Each illusion remains for 1 minute or
until it takes any damage. Only true sight can identify the real caster.

vanish after 1 minute.
4 A 10'x10' pit appears immediately in front of caster, 5' deep per level of the caster.
5 A 25' x 25' pit opens up at your location. It's a 20' drop and what's at the bottom? 3d4 poisonous snakes!
6 A ball of snakes flies from your sleeve, causing anyone in a 5' wide line between you and your target to forfeit their
reaction until your next turn due to instinctively dodging away. The snakes are otherwise normal and not dangerous.
7 A different, random spell the caster knows of one level higher is cast. If spell was highest level known, a random cantrip

familiar/companion acting this way has disadvantage on all attacks, checks, and saves until they take an action to pet,
cuddle, or kiss their familiar/companion.
30 All magical weapons within 30' of caster are increased by +2 for 1d4 turns.
31 All non-magic items within 15' of the target glow slightly and gain an aura of enchantment magic for the next 2d12
hours. The items are otherwise not magical (i.e., for reasons of hitting creatures only affected by magic weapons).

# EFFECTS
101 Spell is delayed by 1d4 rounds. Spell affects specified target even if it has moved.
102 Spell is reversed if it is reversible. If the spell is not reversible, the DM should attempt to define a reverse effect (i.e. fire
to water or ice, damaging spells heal). If a reverse effect is not possible, spell fails.

113 The caster and the target exchange positions. If the spell does not require a target (i.e., Fireball or lightning bolt) the
caster instead teleports to the target location. The spell does not go off, but the slot is expended.
114 The caster calls odds or evens. Roll a die. If they are correct, the target falls madly in lust with a random creature nearby.
If they are incorrect or if there is not one target, the caster falls madly in love with a random creature. This lasts until the
end of the encounter.
115 The caster suddenly knows the entire bus schedule for Spokane, Washington in 1974.
116 The closest creature to your target who is not the target gets cursed with battle rage (it is a random target if an AOE
spell). Their next action, they must move to and attack the closest creature to them with intent to kill (not the spell's
target). Attacker must add any applicable class perks like sneak attack or Smite that they have in the best effort to KILL.
When they hit someone, the curse leaves them and goes to the target who took damage. Again, this creature moves to
and attacks the nearest person (but not the one who passed the curse to them). The curse lasts for 8d6 actions (each
actor's turn in the fight counts as one action). If a target who the curse would be passed to dies, the curse remains on
the attacker.
117 The Daylight spell is in effect for 1d4 rounds emanating from the target for 500'.
118 The forges of Avernus belch forth noxious fumes as you finish your casting. In addition to the normal spell effect, a
Stinking Cloud, centered at your target location, appears also. It lasts for one minute.
119 The next damaging spell you cast within the next minute does critical damage.
120 The party falls prone.

now be invalid and the spell fizzles).

remainder of the encounter.
123 Time freezes, you and all allies are teleported to a pocket dimension for 8 hours, then restored in time exactly as you
were, but naked. (Instant long rest, but equipment doesn't return for another hour.)
124 Time freezes, you and all allies are teleported to a pocket dimension for one hour, then restored in time exactly as you
were. (Instant short rest.)
125 Until the next long rest you forget spells higher than level 1.
126 Until the next long rest you know one spell of your choice of any class up to level 1d4.
127 Up to three creatures you choose within 30 feet of you take 4d10 lightning damage.
128 When rolling on this table, roll TWICE using both results except this one for the next 1+1d6 days.
129 While tapping the element for that spell, you caught the attention of an extra-planar being. A mephit of the elemental
type you cast appears and sees you as an ally wielding its element. The mephit stays for 1 minute (if the caster attacks
with any other element for that duration, the mephit sees this as a betrayal and attacks the caster with fervor). If the
spell was not elemental, a dog appears.
130 You and all creatures within 30 feet of you gain vulnerability to piercing damage for the next minute.
