2025 Magic Spells (Best of)

Anti-exotic Eyes: Changes a human’s eye color from gemlike or unique (purple, emerald, etc.) to an ordinary brown.

Drachenrippe spell

Drachenrippe: Also known as Dragon Ribs. Makes the recipient’s torso incredibly strong and sturdy with an AC of 3 (excluding any armor they wear.)

Endless Wagons: Makes a caravan of 3 or more wheeled vehicles appear as 12 or more, depending on the mage’s level. The illusion includes sight, smell, and auditory components.

Flotilla of the Forest: This powerful spell creates up to ten simple watercraft (rafts, canoes, etc.) out of wood found in the caster’s locale. Must be cast amongst a large group of trees.

Generate Relaxing Sound: Memorizing spells can be difficult in a noisy chaotic situation. This spell creates a white noise background for the caster so they can concentrate.

Gray is Good: Nudges a character toward neutrality if they are good or evil.

Hex of the Harshlight: Makes everyone surrounding the target judge their last action or decision in the most negative light.

Increase Bystanders spell

The neku-neku spell is always a hit at costume balls

Neku-neku: Cantrip that creates the illusion of cat ears on a humanoid’s head.

Somber Skeleton: This spell is used to protect the dead (but NOT undead.) Anyone who sees the remains will become very quiet and respectful and walk on by leaving them alone.
