Wondrous Item, varies (requires attunement by a wizard)

This magical bookmark consists of a number of silk ribbons with magical runes inscribed upon them.  Each ribbon can be placed in your spell book, marking the pages containing a spell which you know, but do not have prepared.  When you prepare spells or take a long rest you can determine which spells you bookmark.  While attuned to this magical bookmark you can attempt to cast the spell as if you had prepared it.  To do so, you expend the appropriate spell slot and attempt to cast the spell as you would normally.  Make an Intelligence (Arcana) check, DC 10 + level of the spell's level.  Use the spell level rather than the spell slot level if you are attempting to up-cast a spell in this manner.  On a success you cast the spell as if it were prepared.  On a failure the spell slot and any material components for the spell you attempted to cast are expended and a random effect may occur.  Roll to determine the random effect.

1.  The spell fizzles out.  A flash of light accompanied by a crackling sound, which can be heard up to 100 feet away,  emanates from your location.

2.  The spell misfires.  The spell targets another creature(s) or area within 100 feet, determined by the DM.

3. The spell goes up in a cloud of smoke.  A puff of black smoke fills a 10' radius sphere centered on you.  You take force damage equal to the level of the spell.

4.  The spell works anyway, sort of.  You manage to cast the spell but it does not function normally.  The DM determines how the spell is altered.  This alteration could include any sort of effect such as change in damage type or creating an environmental effect other than that which was intended.

5-12. You cast the wrong spell.  Rather than the intended spell you cast one of the following spells, even if they are not in your spellbook:

5. Faerie Fire targeting yourself.

6. Levitate targeting a random member of your party.

7. Disguise Self except is targets all creatures within 30 feet of you.  The DM determines how appearances change.

8. Fog Cloud centered on yourself.

9. Enlarge targeting a random creature within 30 feet.

10. Reduce targeting a random creature within 30 feet.

11. Summon Beast.  The beast takes a form determined by the DM.

12.  Misty Step.  You teleport to an unoccupied space determined by the DM, that you can see within 30 feet.
