Song Spell #43 The Jimi Hendrix experience - Purple Haze

 Purple Haze

Level: Legendary

Appearance: A billowing cloud of lilac vapor will spill from the caster’s palms. The smoke never smells the same and constantly changes density and billows in and out in strange patterns. Shrill electronic noises and echoing voices echo from the fog, accompanied by surreal shapes moving around in the haze. 

Effect: Purple haze warps all concepts of reality within the haze for everyone except the caster. The caster can affect time, air conditions, temperature, and overall appearance of anything in the area affect. While the spell is taking effect nothing is actually changing, but soon each change will become reality while the haze spreads, affecting everyone. The changes revert once the haze fades, but any damages done will remain. This does not mean you can extend time for the spell and the caster. To the caster everything the spell cannot go past 2 hours, so any time manipulation is illusory and only perceived by anyone affected by the haze. 

Duration: Purple haze lasts 2 attack rounds in combat, and outside of combat the haze resides in the air for 2 hours. 

Range: The haze can be directed, so range is as far as the caster can see as well as where the haze might go if it was sent down a hall or around the corner. Past that the haze will be in lesser concentration. The haze keeps spreading as long as the spell is active. 

Type: Illusion, Evocation and Transfiguration.

This is probably in my top 50 of my favorite songs. Purple haze is such an exquisite song and a perfect example of Jimi Hendrix being a demented master of the electric guitar. The song sounds like some huge trundling machine billowing with vapor and blaring with loud electric sounds. Mad respect to Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding who dedicated their own personal expertise to push Jimi's music to new heights of innovation.

Song Spell #24 Ian Carr - Caliban

Image
 Caliban Level: Legendary Appearance: The caster will summon Caliban, a golden gargoyle with kaleidoscopic eyes, who will obliterate all the caster chooses with an array of dreadful rays that beam from Caliban's eyes. Caliban has horns all over their body, concentrated on the side of their head and on their arms as well. Caliban speaks with a hypnotic cadence and their voice captivates anyone listening, inspiring allies, and terrifying foes. Caliban is immobile and the caster must choose where Caliban will perch. Caliban shifts through many faces, with each beamsight bearing a new fearsome face. Caliban when dispelled resembles a puzzle of themselves and begins to move and shift until they have totally collapsed in on themselves and disappeared completely from the naked eye.  Effect: Caliban is indestructible and possesses 5 beamsights that they utilize to destroy foes.  A list of the beamsights that Caliban has can be found below: Plasma ray - This beamsight creates a superheated

Song Spell #44 Cake - The distance

Image
 The distance Level: Intermediate Appearance: The caster visibly has more drag control and trajectory accuracy of any projectile based magic. Effect: The distance allows the caster to have more predictable control of projectile magic. The spell specifically makes projectiles work more in line with the distance variable of travel, making the spell more likely to hit its mark. This grants a bonus to any spell rolls if used premptively, which is the only way this meta spell can be used.  Duration: The duration of the spell that the distance has been cast on. Range: Caster range Type: Meta  This is a very energetic song with an excellent bassline and guitar riff. I like the lyrics of this song. They are unconventional for the situation that they are describing.
