Wild Surge
Though many spellcasters like to consider their use of magic a science, the effects of magic are not always easy to predict. Wild, uncontrolled magic sometimes surges as a side effect of spellcasting or magical experimentation. Some even find themselves embracing the chaos of wild magic, channeling the power of it and attempting to bend it to their will.
Triggering a Wild Surge
There are several means by which a wild surge can be triggered, whether intentionally or not.Criticals and Fumbles
Spells that have an attack roll have a default critical range of 20/x2, and cause a wild surge on a critical hit or fumble. Like with other Criticals and Fumbles, these spells require confirmation rolls. Rather than rolling critical effect dice, the tables for Spell Critical and Spell Fumble effects are provided below.Counterspell
Whenever a critical hit or fumble is rolled on a Counterspell attempt (using the same rules as other Criticals and Fumbles), a wild surge occurs. These effects use the Counterspell Critical and Counterspell Fumble tables provided below.Dispel Checks
natural 1 or 20 is rolled in a dispel magic/psionics attempt, a wild surge occurs . In the case of a natural 1, the surge centers on the target if beneficial, and the caster if not. In the case of a natural 20, the surge is centered on the caster if beneficial, and the target if not. If the subject of the dispel check is not a creature, the surge only triggers if the caster would be the target.Failed Concentration
When a caster fails their Concentration check while attempting to cast a spell, they must make a Will Save (DC 10 plus the spell's level plus how much they failed their concentration by). On a failed save, a wild surge triggers on the caster. If a caster fails their Concentration check to cast the spell but succeeds on their save, they may choose to cast the spell anyways, automatically triggering a wild surge effect on themselves in addition to the spell being cast.Wild Magic Zone
There exist places where the weave is unstable, whether by nature or by act. Any spell cast or magic item activated in one of these areas has a chance of triggering a wild surge. The strength of the zone dictates the chances of a surge. Those that are the least stable produce a surge on every instance, and others require a will save with a set DC to avoid triggering one.Breaking Magic Items
Breaking a magical item can release the arcane energies stored in it in spectacular, unpredictable ways. Any time a magic item is destroyed, it triggers a wild surge in addition to any other effects the release of that energy may entail.Wild Surge Tables
