Song Spell #34 The Beatles - Nowhere Man

 Nowhere Man


Level: Legendary

Appearance: Casting this spell is rather simple, despite it being a legendary spell. The nowhere man comes from nowhere, appearing suddenly in the place where no one is looking. The nowhere man looks different to everybody and doesn’t bear any familiar qualities to his face. The one continuous feature is the lack of any discerning bodily features, and the constant pale white glow of light coming from his entire body, illuminating a featureless torso, and set of limbs. The nowhere man will escape sight the second no one is looking, after he has conducted business. 

Effect: The nowhere man can cause things that haven’t happened, create things that don’t exist, and speak things that cannot be understood. His methods aren’t understood outside his guaranteed injection of chaos into any sort of situation he is placed in. Caster's who invoke him do not have any sort of advantage, as the nowhere man will not be readable from a strategic standpoint. He does what he came to do, and no one can decipher what that is. The only thing that is constant with him is his willingness to answer questions and solve problems that arise while he is present. He is sought after by many meta magicians, as he is the source of most new meta magic. This is a fickle thing, as his conjuration has no pattern to it, and many must gamble everything to cast such a being. 

Duration: The Nowhere man has no discernable tethering to reality in terms of time. 

Range: The nowhere man always appears near the caster.

Type: Meta, Evocation, Transfiguration, Illusion

This is my favorite Beatles song. George Harrisons solo on this song was a blast to learn, and the lyrics are so well crafted.

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.
