Song Spell #30 They Might Be Giants - Don't Let's Start

 Don't Let's Start

Level: Advanced

Appearance: The caster will place all their focus in a target of their choice. Both of them freeze in place, locked in their own bodies. If you look up close at the eyes of anyone affected by Don't Let's Start, you can see glints and flashes signifying strange movements and shapes. 

Effect: The caster can use this spell to remove a target's turn for one round, but the caster must also defer their turn. The caster must be able to completely see the person they use this spell on. Sometimes the instability of this spell will cause a chain reaction, making all participants in the round of combat roll a D10, with 6 or above meaning they keep their turn, 5 or below meaning they lose their turn. If you take a sample of anything from people frozen in this fashion, you will get a wildly unstable temporal substance that generally results in explosions.

Duration: Outside of combat, this spell freezes you and another person for 5 minutes. 

Range: 30 ft range

Type: Evocation and Transfiguration

This is a true oddity of a song, and an excellent example of TMBG's bizarre lyrical compositions.

Song Spell #49 Studio Jams #1 - I Wish

Image
 I wish Level: Legendary Appearance: The caster will tentatively state a desire of their own and it will appear before the caster.  Effect: The caster may make a wish, as long as it doesn’t physically change the caster themselves in terms of physiology and appearance. Before the caster makes said wish by enacting the spell, they will be transported into an extraordinary dimension where they must vouch for their wish. Time dilates heavily in this dimension, taking 10 minutes in reality while taking days in the dimension. Inside this dimension you must speak to a tribunal of judges who will ask what the caster requests and the caster must state their case. If you flounder or don’t make your intentions clear, proceedings can take years to conduct, which will begin to wear on your psyche, causing you to mentally age when you leave this strange place. Be careful with the tribunal when you want your wish to affect someone of your choice. They will summarize that person’s entire life...

Song Spell #48 The Physics House Band - Teratology

Image
 Teratology Level: Advanced Appearance: The caster will point at any target and the target will ripple and tesselate while being pointed at by the caster.  Effect: Teratology determines any sort of defect that the target has, explaining it in simple terms. The spell will psionically relay details of the defect to the caster, spontaneously making the caster aware of potential conditions and how to work around them. The spell  how the defect affects a certain action or aspect of the target rather than simply naming the condition. Duration: Depending on the condition, it takes at most around 30 seconds to explain the condition.  Range: Must be facing the person at most 5 feet away.  Type: Evocation This is such an amazing song. All of the members donate a ferocious musicality to their parts. Wonderful progressive rock happening here with the physics house band.
