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 #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.
