Damage/Effect
This notoriously unstable spell was invented by the eccentric prank mage Colton after being banned from three royal courts, two wizard academies, and one wedding.
Choose one creature you can see within range. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, roll a d12 on the Chaotic Prank Table. The effect lasts for the spell’s duration unless otherwise noted. On a successful save, the target merely hears distant clown laughter.
Chaotic Prank Table
| d12 | Effect |
|---|---|
| 1 | The target’s voice becomes dramatically deep and ominous. Advantage on Intimidation checks, disadvantage on Persuasion checks. |
| 2 | Tiny harmless ducks rain from above for 1 round. The target is blinded until the end of its next turn from sheer confusion. |
| 3 | Every step the target takes creates a loud squeaky-toy sound audible within 60 feet. |
| 4 | The target’s hair, fur, or head covering turns bright neon pink. This lasts 24 hours. |
| 5 | An illusory mustache appears on the target’s face and cannot be removed for the duration. |
| 6 | The target uncontrollably smells like fresh cinnamon rolls. Creatures have advantage on checks to track the target by scent. |
| 7 | The target believes dramatic theme music is playing whenever they move. They gain disadvantage on Stealth checks because they keep posing heroically. |
| 8 | A spectral pie appears and splats into the target’s face. The target is stunned until the start of its next turn from embarrassment. |
| 9 | The target’s clothing appears backward and mismatched, though it functions normally. |
| 10 | Illusory butterflies circle the target. The target sheds dim light in a 10-foot radius. |
| 11 | The target speaks only in rhyme for the duration. |
| 12 | Roll twice more on this table. Both effects occur simultaneously. Ignore additional 12s. |
At Higher Levels
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, you may target one additional creature for every two slot levels above 3rd.
Colton’s Final Note
* - ((a rubber chicken, a copper coin, and a pinch of glitter))“A good prank causes laughter.
A great prank causes a bar fight.”
