Worldbuilding Wednesday 1/7/25: Best of Twittersnips 2024 (Magic Spells)

The effect of a Viralinzia’s Rainbow Twist spell is sudden and dramatic.

Selection of my favorite Twittersnip magic spells of the year 2024, chosen from my X feed.

 

2024 Magic Spells (Best of)

Amphibian Trailblazer: The mage can lay down an invisible trail for others to follow over both land and water.

Claws of the Peacock: Curse that makes a character overly concerned with their attractiveness and physical appearance. They will be always preening, combing, cosmeticizing and buying expensive clothing and jewelry with their hard-earned adventuring cash.

Cone of Breathing: Transforms a cone-shaped vessel of any material into a temporary source of oxygen. High level versions of the spell enable normal breathing for up to an hour underwater or in a place with poisoned air.

Emancipate Mummy spell

Emancipate Mummy: Necromantic spell that forcibly removes a mummy from its sarcophagus or other casing. The mummy can be either Undead or truly dead.

Empress Clavorie’s Darting Ginger: Creates the illusion of a large, fat, red tabby cat that is always moving around at the periphery of the viewer’s field of vision.

Heart Yoke magic spell

Heart Yoke: A love spell that makes two beings believe they are fated mates. This spell has a fixed duration and the two are likely to be very embarrassed when it ends.

Helmcool: Cast on a metal helmet, it keeps the wearer from overheating in the midst of battle or other exertions, improving their stamina and performance.

Pendagarmel’s Cape Wrest: Gives the recipient a +10 advantage towards ripping a cape, magical or not, off someone’s shoulders.

Potato of Venus: A cantrip that molds a potato into the shape of a heart. If the mage then gives it away to someone, the recipient will treat the mage as if their charisma has risen by +1 .

Repulse Gold: Makes items made of gold or with a gold component move out of the reach of living beings.

Robust Devotion: Clerical spell that strengthens the recipient’s faith and enables them to pray for up to 10 hours straight.

Summon Sand spell

Summon Sand: Cantrip used when a small amount of fine, clean is needed, for example to put out a campfire or fill a kitty box.

Unavoidable Messenger: Cast on creature that will deliver an unpleasant or unwanted message to another, the spell makes them keep popping ahead of the reciever no matter how hard the reciever tries to avoid them.

Universal Candor: Forces the recipient to speak the truth, and their truthful opinion, to any and all beings they encounter for a set period of time.

Unwanted Opponent: Cast in a melee situation, it attracts to the target the opponent they are least willing to fight. This can be the most powerful creature or even the most vulnerable one whose death would scar the target for life.

Viralinzia’s Rainbow Twist: The target turns into a rainbow for a certain length of time. Since rainbows are are made of fine water droplets, if hit by a drying spell in this state the target is destroyed and gone forever. A strong gust of wind can have the same effect.
