I'm gonna guess this goes here.

I know, D&D isn't electronic, and it is not really Japan-centric, but this little bit is, sorta. I'm making a character that I'm wanting to play in the next new game; the Chaotic Evil Wizard known simply as Black Mage. And if you seriously don't know who I'm talking about try this link: http://www.nuklearpower.com/8bitcast.php

For those of you interested, here's his stats at Level 1;
Black Mage, Wizard 1
Human, Chaotic Evil Deity: Chaos
Med. Sized, 25 Years old, 5'6", 115 lbs, Yellow Eyes, ? Hair, ? Skin
Str 10
Dex 15
Con 14
Int 18
Wis 12
Cha 4
HP 6
AC 12 (+2 Dex)
Skills - Concentration +4, Craft (Trapmaking) +4, Decipher Script +4, Knowledge (Arcana) +4, Knowledge (Religion) +4, Knowledge (The Planes) +4, Spellcraft +4.
Feats - Spell Focus (Evocation), Greater Spell Focus (Evocation)
Languages - Common, Undercommon, Draconic, Abyssal, Infernal

Here's the kicker; I'm not giving him ANY spells from a D&D sourcebook. I'm making them all up on my own, ahead of time. But since I'm shooting for about 100 spells, I'm running out of ideas, and that's where you come in. I'd like people to suggest the names of spells, and maybe a nice little description. Unless you really know what you're talking about, you probably shouldn't bother with trying to describe damage, duration, schools, subschools, spell descriptors, range, etc. Leave the gruntwork to me, I just want a little help with inspiration. Also, PLEASE don't just describe a bunch of super-flashy damage-wh0re spells. It'll be done to death, trust me. Spells decided on so far include such beauts as; Fire 1 through 5, Bolt 1 through 5, Ice 1 through 5, Pick-up Line, Stab, Acid Sheen, Disrupt Moron, Detect Blood, Resist Ants (get it, Resistance? ahh fugghedaboudit), Creeping Darkness, Insult, Shadowform, Fighterdoken, Hadoken, Dimensional Rift, Meteor, Megaflare, Horrid Form (AKA Haesslich), I See Dumb People, Protection from Swords, Armoire of Invincibility, Stabbity Death, Rub, ZAP!, Saber.

Anyone who's idea is chosen will be acredited in the back of the spellbook, and if I'm feeling generous I'll e-mail it to anyone who's interested once it is complete (in .wps form).

I take it that you would want some spells from the odd sort too. Not that good at D&D, so I can't come up with as much details. But at least a few ideas:

Summon Jester
Distraction of enemies.
Area of effect
Most likely Will-saving throw

Scam Resistance
Resist against dishonest salesmen.

Stoning
Lots of rocks (not of the gigant kind) hurled at the enemy
Possibly AoE

Ice Spikes
Spikes of ice shooting up from the ground

Prod
very little damage
(most likely a cantrip ^^)

Spell Amplifier
adds to the number of rounds left of a spellduration

Protection from Gravity
Protection from any spell and attack that uses gravity to damage. ie meteor strike, ballistic shots etc.
May also protect from burden spells (if any)

Bone Shackles
Uses corpses on ground to bind other enemies to a spot

Barbeque
Heats up the ground to fry the enemy
AoE

Insomnia
Unable to rest for certain time (most likely just used by enemies, but can maybe stop the enemies from healing when you leave an area)

Devour
A monster appears from the ground, and tries to devour the victim.

Summon Tavern
Always handy when travelling. (lvl 9? ^^)
Lower lvl versions vould be something like summon tent

Thunderous Voice
Gives the ability to damage enemies by shouting.
Definately AoE

Spear Fist
Gives fists the ability to do piercing damage

Aura of Hatred
Makes enemies aggro on the target, rather than anything else

Well...at least a few ideas (althoug maybe weird). Hope it helps anyways :)

I believe he is in a flying deathtrap fortified with prayer and chewing gum, I could be wrong though. Have you been working on him or is this a shelfed project for the time being, Oh Godfather of Botch <('-'<)
