Item: Wands of Piracy (set of 4); when tapped on a scroll, book, VHS tape, ZIP disk, or any other non-magical storage media, it copies all the information contained within it; once loaded with information, it may be tapped on blank media to fill it with that information. The media need not be the same format. A few possible uses

  • Make copies of a scroll to distribute to a wider audience
  • Art forgery
  • Convert your dad’s old 8-tracks onto CDs
  • Extract data from damaged storage media onto paper
  • Transfer music into a book to get the sheet music
  • Transfer the text of a book onto a CD to create an audiobook

Some transformations don’t work: copying video onto paper would create a list of every frame of the video, scaled to fit them all on the available media; taking a painting and putting it onto audio media just makes noise. (Of course, you could do this to disguise it for transportation, then move it back onto canvas once you’ve gotten where you’re going.)

Item: Wand of Slot F*ckery; wielder targets a magic user and upon a successful touch attack it replaces one of their prepared spells with one of the following:

  1. Conjure Vermin
  2. Grease
  3. Zone of Evasion (as Zone of Truth, but instead of being unable to lie, creatures are unable to answer questions or make direct statements)
  4. Splash
  5. Snilloc’s Snowball
  6. Detect Rhubarb
  7. Horizikaul’s Cough
  8. Bigby’s Indiscriminate Backhand (a large illusory hand appears and goes
    upside the heads of every creature in a ten-foot radius of the caster)

The Wand’s target creature should roll a Perception check to see if they notice the change.

Item: Wand of Stun Spore; any corporeal creatures in a ten-foot radius must roll save against d10 rounds of Paralysis.

If anybody’s really enjoying my blogs and the various “Probably___RPGIdeas” and such, you could probably make a whole blog of nothing but adapting Pokemon moves as D&D spells.

randomencounters:

Encounter: your own fingers–ALIVE! and threatening you with–DEATH!

Item: Wand of Turning a Character’s Fingers Into Violent Little Angry People, Complete With Tiny Weapons. The resulting creatures are of the same race/species and gender as their host, but are always Chaotic Evil

So I’ve been thinking about starting a third blog for spells, but I’m worried I’d have trouble finding enough material with it and wind up just queueing a few dozen Pokemon moves and that sort of thing. What do you think, try anyway, or stick to posting spells here as Wands and Periapts? Comment/reply/whatever your favorite of Tumblr’s 38 ways of sending messages!
