d66 Arcane Dooms

 Meddling With Magic


When a wizard casts a spell, a roll of doubles or triples gains them 1 point of doom.

Whenever a wizard gains a point of doom, they must roll a d20. If the rolled 20 is equal to or lower than their doom score, they gain 1 doom effect, known as a mishap. After a mishap occurs, the wizard's doom score is reduced to 0 (Unless you want magic to be even more dangerous).

If a mishap does not name a time, assume it is permanent. Such mishaps may be curable through questing for a solution.

d66 Tables

Roll 1d6 to determine which table to roll on, then another d6 to determine the result on that table. Alternatively, roll on the table most closely matching the form of magic the wizard was attempting when they triggered a mishap.
