Yo so here's my weird schizophrenic
Wild Magic table. Roll on Table 1 and then follow the instructions.
Effects supplant whatever spell or whatever you meant to cast (or accompany it, if you think that'd be more awesome). If the
effect doesn't make sense, the spell works as normal. Or maybe
reroll. I prefer rerolling, but hey it's up to you. I guess Wild
Magic has to fail to fuck things up sometimes to be truly random, but eh.
In my games, this table is rolled on if a spell is miscast or interrupted, if someone reads a scroll or spellbook improperly, or is playing a Wild Mage, which works exactly like a wizard except they have a 10% chance of rolling a Wild Surge, though they can negate this than using a higher level spell slot. A Wild Mage can also choose to surge on purpose whenever they want. They can also roll twice on any random magic effects like a Rod of Wonder and take the preferred result, but never this table.
There's additionally a disease called a Wild Plague that makes you always Wild Surge. Casting a spell on someone with Wild Plague is a possible vector of infection, lol. And if you're in a Wild Magic zone, you're always treated as a Wild Mage. These are the only locations where a Wild Mage can roll twice on a Surge and take their preferred result.
TABLE 1 (Determine nature of Surge)
01-40 Spell : See Table A1
41-55 Caster: See Table B1
56-70 Target: See Table C1
71-80 Caster & Target: See Table
D1
81-89 Environment: See Table E1
90-95 Special: See Table F1
96-98 Roll twice on this Table,
re-rolling results over 96 (or don't, lolololol)
99 Roll 2d4 times on this Table
re-rolling results over 96 (Same as above, just assume.)
100 DM Decides, or makes up something
not covered here. Or roll 1d20 times on the table. Bwahaha, eat shit.
TABLE A1 (Spell is target of Surge)
01-12 Spell works as normal plus
Thematic Effect; Roll on Table A2.
13 Spell does opposite of purpose; a
damaging spell heals the target, a boost-providing spell confers a
penalty, etc.
14-25 Thematic Effect: Roll on Table
A2 and again on Basic Table.
26 Spell is Empowered: Any numeric or
variable aspects of the spell are increased by one half.
27 Spell is Maximized: Any variable
aspects of the spell are treated as the maximized result.
28 Spell is Twinned: Cast the spell
twice.
29 Spell is Delayed: Roll 1D4+1 for
rounds it's delayed by.
30 Spell affects Target as normal,
then an exact copy of the spell originates from the target and
affects the caster.
31 Spell doesn’t take effect now,
but next time the caster casts a spell, the target of the second
spell is also the target of the first.
32 As 31, but it affects the next 1d20
spells the caster casts (first spell has no effect at casting but
affects target of second spell, second spell affects target of third
spell, and so on).
33 Spell becomes a maximized Fireball
with Caster Level of 10.
34 Spell takes effect, but Caster
Level is double normal.
35 Spell takes effect, but Caster
Level is half normal.
36 Spell is changed to the spell
appearing above it in the source material. The target doesn’t
change. If this would result in a spell with no effect (for example,
charm person in an open space), then there is no effect; roll on
Table E1 to determine what happens next.
37 Spell affects the nearest creature
to the target instead.
38 Spell affects the nearest creature
to the caster instead.
39 Spell becomes the spell Time Stop,
but the target counts as the caster, and knows this.
40-49 Nothing happens; the spell slot
is still used and components are still consumed.
50-55 Nothing happens, really! The
spell slot is not used and components are not consumed.
56-60 Everyone within 5ft of a line
between the caster and the target will be hit by a copy of the spell,
including the caster.
61-62 Spell's duration is 1d6 times
normal; spells with a duration of instantaneous instead take effect
1d6 times, once every round until all have taken effect.
63-66 Besides the normal spell,
another spell accompanies it. Roll on Table A3. The target doesn't
change. If this would result in a spell with no effect (for example,
Scare in an open space), then re-roll on Table A3.
67-82 Spell takes effect, but the
caster retains the spell or spell slot and components aren't
consumed.
83-85 Spell is changed to another
spell: roll on Table A3. The target doesn’t change. If this would
result in a spell with no effect (for example, Scare in an open
space), then there is no effect; roll on Table E1 to determine what
happens next.
86-87 Spell has no save and penetrates
Spell Resistance automatically.
88-89 Saves vs this spell are
automatically a success, and it can't penetrate a creature's Spell
Resistance.
90 Spell becomes a "Living
Spell". It becomes sentient, gains a humanoid form, and is
capable of 'casting itself at will. Treat as an NPC and go nuts with
this. Alternatively stat them up as Arnold K's Spellborn Homunculus.
91-95 Spell takes effect normally.
96-98 Roll twice on this Table,
rerolling results over 96
99 Roll 2d4 times on this Table,
rerolling results over 96.
100 DM chooses an effect from this
table under the result of 96. (I guess it's a dick move if the DM
chooses above 96, but don't let me stop you; if you can make up a new
effect do it)
TABLE A2 (Thematic Effect of Surge)
01-05 Theme Electricity, the spell
will look electrical in nature, there will be heard thunder and smell
like in a thunder storm.
06-10 Theme Fire, the spell will look

table just with the theme of Heaven.

table just with the theme of Hell.
41-60 Appropriate Theme music will
play for the duration of the spell; spells with a duration of
instantaneous instead have the Appropriate Theme music play for CL
rounds.
61 as 05+41 on this table, but the
music will match the theme instead of the spell.
62 as 10+42 on this table, but the
music will match the theme instead of the spell.
63 as 15+43 on this table, but the
music will match the theme instead of the spell.

music will match the theme instead of the spell.

music will match the theme instead of the spell.

sound of 100 soft bells ringing and leaves a trail of flower petals
in its wake.

produces no sound, but is otherwise normal.
85-90 Theme Slime, 1-10 on this table
just with the theme of Slime.
91-95 Spell displays the effect of
making it look like it's the work of thousands of small and fluffy
animals; a Levitation spell makes it look like lots of little
songbirds come and lift the target, a damaging spell looks like a
swarm of mice running by nibbling all in the area of effect, etc.
96-98 Roll twice on this Table,
rerolling results over 96. (Or don't, if you can think of how to
combine themes)
99 Roll 2d4 times on this Table,
rerolling results over 96.
100 DM chooses an effect from this
table under the result of 96. (Or make up a new theme, like Cheese or something, idgaf.)
TABLE A3 (Other Spell on Surge)
I'm not going to print a goddamn table
of every possible spell in my game, especially since I'm not sure how
much that'll translate into your game. Basically just roll randomly
for spell list, then roll 1d10 for spell level (treat 10 as cantrips
if they exist, otherwise GM picks). When you have a spell level, roll
randomly on spells. For instance, if you're using the Castles &
Crusades PHB with no homebrew, you'd have 1d4 for Cleric, Druid,
Wizard, Illusionist spell lists. It has 0-level spells, and each
spell level tends to have a nice diceable number of spells like 12 or
20, numbered for you an everything. It's awesome.
TABLE B1 (Caster is target of Surge)

spell; Roll on Table A3.

long lost sibling.
76-80 Caster believes target to be a
demon in disguise, out to kill him/her.
81-84 Caster's languages all change to
other languages, but the caster doesn't notice it him/herself, this
effect lasts until the caster washes his/her hair.
85-89 Next non-living item the caster
touches will turn into gold.
90-95 Caster's skin takes on another
color, roll 1D10 to see which, this effect last until the caster
bathes under a waterfall:

table under the result of 96, or makes up a new one. You get the drill.
TABLE B2 (Random Plane of Destination)
Here, just roll randomly for Planes of
Existence, whatever the cosmology is in your setting. If your game
doesn't have alternate planes of existence, uh...use planets? Come on
work with me here. I might post my cosmology sometime and link to it here later, though. Cosmologies are cool.

1D20 Hours, roll 1D10 to find the target's new size:

smaller, 6-8 one size larger, 9 two sizes larger, 10 tree sizes

59-63 Target and caster are drawn
towards each other; each round a magic force will move each 20 ft.
closer to one another until they collide (this does not grant them
any kind of movement they do not have, like flight, but the spell

created with center where the intended spell should have taken
effect. The radius of the zone is caster's level X10 ft.
10 A permanent dead magic zone is

effect. The radius of the zone is caster's level X100 ft.
11-15 Centered on the caster, a sphere
with a radius of Caster Level X10 ft. permanently shifts places with
an equally sized area from a random plane, roll on Table B2 to see

with a radius of Caster Level X10 ft. and all creatures in this area
shifts places with a equally sized area from a random plane, roll on
Table B2 to see which plane. The areas will remain there for the
duration of the intended spell before returning home. If the
creatures leave the area under the duration and don't make it back
before the original spell ends, they must find another way home.
21-25 A Permanent Wall of Force
springs into existence right between the caster and target; the wall
is as large as environment allows, up to a maximum of caster's level.
If Caster is also the target, the wall starts in front of the caster
and goes in a straight line the way the caster is looking.
26-29 Surge kills all non-sentient
plant life in a radius of caster's level X10 ft.
30 Surge kills all non-sentient plant
life in a radius of caster's level X100 ft.
31-35 In a circle with a radius of
caster's level X1D10 ft, flowers will suddenly and magically begin to
grow. These will open up 24 hours after the surge and reveal a gem
inside of each flower; the amount of gem flowers that appear is equal
to the radius of the flower zone X10. Each gem, if plucked, is worth
1D100 Gold, but turns to dust one week after being plucked.
36-40 Weather changes drastically
(hail, sleet, thunderstorm, heatwave, etc.)
41-45 Weather changes drastically to
magical nature (raining frogs, lightning elementals playing a game in
the skies, a fog that counts a stinking cloud falls, etc.)

1D100 ft. from the target of the intended spell, time stops for 1D100
years; everyone within or who enter under the area of effect is
caught by the time stop and frozen in time until time starts again.
This effect counts as being cast by a level 30 caster for purpose of
trying to dispel. No save and no Spell Resistance.
71-75 The surge rips a hole in the
fabric of reality and a layer of the far plane/outer chaos/whatever
seeps in; the layer remains until all creatures have left its
boundary. The layer is level x5 ft radius centered on the caster when
the surge happens. Roll on Table E2 to see what effect the layer
brings with it.
76-78 Earthquakes hit the region
(nearest 100 miles) for the next 1D6 hours.

(buildings, creatures, fields, or the like it have all become
invisible), while there is no effect for the ones looking out.
83-86 Rips a hole in reality and opens
a one-way portal to a random plane, roll on Table B2 to see where the
portal leads to.
87-90 Rips a hole in reality and opens
a one-way portal from a random plane, roll on Table B2 to see where

Table E2 (Far Realms Fuckery)
This is gonna have to be its own post or else this'll be too long. Here.
TABLE F1 (Special Surges)
01-03 Surge results in surge with
multiple effects, roll once on each of these tables: Table A1, Table
B1, Table C1, Table D1, and Table E1
04-06 The caster gains a random effect
from Table A2 that will always be added to all spells the caster
casts.
07-09 One random stat of the target's
gains a permanent inherent bonus, roll a D10 to determine the size of
the bonus:
1-4 +1. 5-6 +2. 7-8 +3. 9 +4. 10 +5.
10-12 Randomly roll another wild
surge; this surge and the next 1D20 wild surges will have that
effect.
13 Caster gains a wild die (D20). When
casting spells or using spell-like abilities, roll wild die, and if
the wild die rolls 13, the result is a wild surge instead of the
spell. If caster already has a wild die, roll a D20 instead, and the
result is now added to the wild die and will result in a wild surge
when casting spells.
14-15 A random effect from Table B1 is
made permanent without save or Spell Resistance; even if it could be
removed before, it can't now.
16-18 A random effect from Table C1 is
made permanent without save or Spell Resistance; even if it could be
removed before, it can't now.
19-21 Curse of the Phoenix. The caster
bursts into flames and is consumed along with all of his/her
equipment, magic items get a saving throw equal to the difficulty of
the original spell being cast. Next dawn, the caster will reincarnate
in the nearest flame that is as large or larger than the caster (note
that the curse doesn’t give any resistance or immunity to fire). If
ever killed by fire damage, this will happen again. Precisely one
year after the caster's last burst and consummation by flames, it
repeats. Can only ever be removed by eating the heart of a Phoenix,
while Remove Curse is being cast on the subject.
22-24 A random monster appears from
with HD equal to the level as the spell originally intended to be
cast, and it is free willed and permanent (of course, it is confused
as to what just happened, and yes, it does come from somewhere.)
25-27 A 1 inch/spell level portal
appears right behind the caster, which is connected to the Far
realms. Right behind it, a creature lives that wants to enter our
existence. Every time the caster casts a spell, it opens 1 inch/spell
level, and every day at sunset, it closes 1 inch. If the portal ever
reaches 100 inches, the creature will enter and try to eat the
caster. If successful, it will take his/her body and have free access
to our world (if creatures pass through the portal from our side, the
creatures are gone forever ,and the portal will grow by 1 inch/HD if
dead and 2 inches/HD if alive).
28-32 A Random minor magic item
appears where the spell should have taken effect. Roll on whatever
tables you prefer.
33-35 A Random medium magic item
appears where the spell should have taken effect. Roll on whatever
tables you prefer.
36 A Random greater magic item appears
where the spell should have taken effect. Roll on whatever tables you
prefer.
37-38 A artifact appears where spell
should have taken effect, but it is only a shadow image of the item,
and every time it is used, roll a D20. If you roll 13, a wild surge
will occur and the item will disappear; if it is not 13 the item
works as expected.
39-42 Spellstorm: all of the caster's
remaining spells are instantly cast on the target. If the caster is a
spontaneous caster, a random spell is generated on each spell level
and all spell slots are used for that spell. Even spells that
normally would be personal or touch are cast on the target, and all
attack rolls required for the spells are successful. Any spell for
which the caster doesn't have the component, focus, or it just
doesn't make any sense (such as Summon on an elf) simply fizzles.
43-45 One random stat of the caster's
gains a permanent inherent bonus. Roll a D10 to se the size of the
bonus
1-4 +1. 5-6 +2. 7-8 +3. 9 +4. 10 +5.
46-48 Caster ages up until first year
in next age category.
49-51 Caster becomes 1D20 years
younger (if this will result in a age of 0 or less, the caster
disappears and everybody will forget all about him/her; even in
written materials, the caster and his/her deeds will disappear).
52-54 Target are transported to random
plane, roll on table B2 and a Doppleganger looking precisely like the
target is transported to where the target stood.
55-57 The creature standing closest to
caster gains Detect Thoughts as a spell-like ability 3/day, Caster
Level 13.
58-60 Reroll wild surge; the creature
standing closest to the caster is counted as both target and caster
of spell.
61-63 Reroll wild surge; the creature
standing closest to the caster is counted as the caster of spell, and
the creature standing closest to the target is counted as the target
of spell. (If a touch spell, the caster becomes the target and the
target becomes the caster.)
64-65 A noble Djinn appears and offers
for all to participate in a tournament where the winner is granted a
wish, like the spell, roll 1D6 to see which kind of tournament it is:
1 Chess (Djinn supplies the boards and
pieces). 2 Gladiator tournament to surrender or death. 3 Jousting
(Djinn supplies horses and lances). 4 wrestling. 5 Spell duel to
surrender or death. 6 swimming competition (in nearest large body of
liquid)
66 A wish (or 3) is granted to the
caster, roll 1D10 to see the source:
1-5 Noble Djinn, Wish is granted as the
spell. 6 Evil God, grants 3 Wishes but it is in return for the
caster's soul; until the second wish is granted, the soul can be
saved by a Atonement spell cast by a cleric of a good or neutral
deity, but after the second wish, the soul is tainted beyond mortal
intervention. 7-10 Noble Efreet, Wish is granted as the spell, but
the Efreet tries to corrupt it; if the wording can be understood in
some other way, it will.
67-68 Curse of Bureaucracy: Each time
the caster tries to cast a spell, a large form will appear along with
a quill. This form is about whether the spell is for pleasure or
business, who the intended target is, why the caster is using this
exact spell ,and a lot other questions in that style. It takes 1
round per spell level to fill out the form, and if correctly filled
(INT check), the spell will be cast, but if the INT check fails a new
form will appear, and until a form is correctly filled, the caster
can't cast other spells. When Remove Curse is cast on the unlucky
individual, a new and extremely large form will appear along with a
quill. This form takes the Caster's level in hours to fill out, and
if correctly filled, the curse is lifted. If failed, there is a
waiting period of one week per check failed until the curse is
lifted, and if failed by 10 or more, the Remove Curse just doesn’t
work. Special: Lawful characters get +2 to these INT checks and
Chaotic characters get -2 to these INT checks.
69 A succubus takes special interest
in the caster's soul
70-72 A celestial being takes special
interest in the caster's soul and well-being (will help, mentor, and
protect good-aligned characters while trying to save the souls of
neutral and evil aligned characters by showing them the flaws of
their ways and stopping them from doing evil).
73-75 Caster gains a new spell; if the
caster memorizes, the spell appears in the caster's spell book, and
if the caster is a spontaneous caster, he/she adds the spell to known
spells. The spell is of the same level as the originally intended
spell and is the one appearing just under the originally intended
spell on the caster list in the official source material; if no spell
of the same level appears in the official source material, nothing
happens. Special: The newly gained spell takes place of the spell
that caused the wild surge with the same target.
76-77 Nearest creature to target gains
a Template (if touch spell, it's the caster); Templates are like a fucky 3E-thing like being a half-dragon or like, actually a robot or something. If you don't wanna deal with any of that shit, just change their race as if they cast Reincarnate, and make them a half-breed hybrid. You're a freak now.
78 All magical bonds (paladin’s
mount, druid or ranger’s companion, and the like) within 100 ft.
are shattered; the animals are set free but keep the bonuses from the
former bond forever while the owner suffers as if the animal was
killed. Special: Now that the animals aren't normal for their kind
anymore, they can't be part of such a bond ever again.
79-81 Knowledge of the location and
legends of an artifact of wild or chaotic nature is imprinted in the
caster's mind.
82-84 Nothing happens; just smile and
make the wild mage paranoid, and maybe hint that he/she has a strange
feeling in the stomach.
85-87 A entity from the Far-Realm uses
the wild surge to lay one of its eggs in the caster's stomach. Over
the next week, the caster will begin to have stomach pains that stop
9 days after the egg was laid, then on the 10th day, a dire rat with
the pseudo-creature template will burst out of caster's stomach,
dealing 4D6 CON damage. If the caster is subject to a Heal or Remove
disease after the surge but before the 10th day, the creature is
killed and the character will never know how close he/she was. If the
caster is immune to diseases, he is immune to all of this; just treat
the roll as a roll of 82-84 on this table.
88 Cosmic Knowledge comes with a
price; wild mage gains INT +4 WIS -2 CHA -2, permanent.
89 Cosmic Wisdom comes with a price;
wild mage gains INT -2 WIS +4 CHA -2, permanent.
90 Cosmic Shine comes with a price;
wild mage gains INT -2 WIS -2 CHA +4, permanent.
91-92 Reincarnated soul: The wild
mage's soul is taken over by one of his/her previous selves. Remove
all class levels and abilities and rebuild it as a radically
different class up to the same level (the previous self might have
been another gender and or race and find it a little strange suddenly
being in this time occupying this strange body). The DM and player
make an agreement as to what this former self was.
93-96 Wild mage changes type to
Aberration, and every time the wild mage causes a wild surge from now
on, he/she also gains a mutation. Roll on Random Mutations Table
97-98 Death appears wanting to claim
the mage, if the mage argues, Death agrees to a game of Chess (it's
reaaaally hard to win; Death has played it, like, a million times
before). If the character wins, Death says “see you soon”; if not
the character dies. Special: Death can only be seen by the character
and people who can see ethereal beings, Death can't be killed.
99 Wild mage gets to chose an effect
from any surge table, with a Charisma X3% chance that the effect will
happen; if not, then the DM can choose any event they like.
100 A flux is created and the caster must make a saving throw. On a success, the caster
is permanently immune to all magic both beneficial and harmful, but
can't ever use spells, magic effects, (portals, heroes' feast, and
the like), or spell-like abilities. He/she can even walk through
magical effects such as wall of force or the like. On a failure, roll on this bad boy.
