Magical Miscellany | A collection of intrusive thoughts turned into spells
PDFs of this and more can be found over on at my Patreon here! I release everything for free, so your support makes this possible. I've also started making a new system based off of 5e, 6th Dawn! Become a patron and join the playtest.
So, I've been working hard on ancestries for 6th Dawn to make them balanced (approximately), interesting, and unique. Which has had most of my attention, so free of themes as I am on what was the 5th sunday of a month, I decided to grab a bunch of intrusive thoughts that have followed me through the past however long, neaten them up and collate them.
Blistering Invective
This is a pathfinder spell, sort of. A friend alerted me to it, and it sounded an awful lot like firey vicious mockery but intimidating. So I gave it discount fear as its secondary effect. Quite versatile.
Chromatic Cannon
So, part of me is irritated that chromatic orb has a costly component, but another part of me is annoyed that bigger diamonds don't make chromatic orbier, or something. So have more damage.
Cubify
"Fuck you!" Cubes your gold coins
This is based on a use of fabricate I had one of my characters do in a campaign that became kind of a running gag. But spending a spell slot just to make a cube is irritating. That said, the petrified cubed remains of a white greatwyrm continues to haunt that version of the forgotten realms.
Diamond Blast
Yeah, I just wanted more uses for expensive diamonds.
Duplicate Document
This is a basic beguiler spell that I thought up a while ago, but it has some legitimate documentary purposes, so I thought I've expand it slightly
Faerie Conflagration
What is more fire than faerie fire? Available for all users of faerie fire
Hardy's Falling Piano
Another intrusive thought. A spell that conjures pianos to crush people
Misguiding Missile
An interesting idea for an offensive illusion cantrip. It's a bit weird, but I quite like it.
Power Word Scrunch
A meme from the wizard wars. I need to get out of here.
Reaper's Calling
Perfect for edgelord necromancers in a game with no scythes
Rend Soul
I wanted a 5th level damaging necromancy spell that isn't from Xanathar's guide, so here we are.
Toxic Mist
Something a friend asked me to make conceptually, so here it is.
And now to plug my stuff. I release homebrews weekly over on my Patreon. Anyone who pledges $2 or more per post don't have to wait a month to see them, and also help fund my being alive habit.
At the moment, they have exclusive access to the following:
Esoteric Instrumentation
Wondrous Jewellery
College of Strings
Magical Sound
I also have four classes, and two splatbooks over on DriveThruRPG to check out:
The Rift Binder. A class specialising in summoning monsters and controlling the battlefield.
The Witch Knight. A class that combines swords and sorcery in the most literal way.
The Werebeast. A class that turns you into a half beast to destroy your foes.
The Beguiler. A spellcaster dedicated to illusions, enchantments, and general fuckery.
d'Artagnan's Adventurer Almanac. A compendium of races, subclasses, feats, spells, monsters and more!
d'Artagnan's Lycanthrope Survival Guide. A book of lore, stats, and werebeast subclasses for lycanthropes.
