Spell Generator with casting rituals, descriptions, and wild magic effects

The Spell Generator brings old-school, soft magic flavour to your fantasy roleplaying games. Use them as inspiration for your own original spell designs, to spice up a monster, or add magical effects to dungeons. The wild magic effects can be used by themselves or as catastrophes that strike the careless wizard who fails to perform the proper rituals!
