Having a taste for the bizarre, I once created in my campaign a set of scrolls
with typos. People using these scrolls were treated to the casting of spells
such as:
Magic Miss (arrow flies from your fingers, lands two feet short)
Defect Magic (causes a spell to misfire)
Hold Porter (causes you to accost a hotel attendant)
Sheep (baaaaaaa)
Wizard Clock
Waste (You immediately throw something away)
Phantasmal Farce You can cast a mental image of anything funny...
I had a good time with these (some were mildly harmful, most were merely
a joke). I also had an NPC ("Flubbit the Wizard"), tremendously high level,
but once blew a powerful incantation resulting in a permanent Confusion and
Misspell Magic upon himself...he now roams the planet, the darling of the Gods
of Chaotic Good.
